Again doing the catch-up Andy ands one really gets the feeling of how much you enjoy what you're doing. As already said 'A fine effort'.

Cheers fellas. Decals have been going on today and should be done tomorrow. Pics then.

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks great Andy, look forward to the decals....

 

[Crimea_River]

The decals be done:

The prop and spinner are also done. Photos show no labels on the blades so I left them off. The heavy grease staining seen on pictures was replicated.

Been gone for a week and just caught up on the last 5 or 6 pages. You've really been doing fine work Andy. Excellent job on those bomb racks and I really like the oil stains you put on the spinner. Did you do it before of after the red?

 

[Ruud]

Wow, very nice Andy!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looks good Andy, just love that prop weathering.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Glenn, it was done with a very fine brush after the red was painted. It actually helped hide some small imperfections in the masked line.

Below are some pics taken after completing an initial panel wash and underside staining before a final Future coat was applied.
