I need to spend more time cleaning my models before taking pictures. Maybe a little make-up too....

That's the key, Andy...

Next step the rear cockpit section has been added and the front canopy section with armoured glass is done too...added a bit of paint to the inside surface of the canopy sections, looks a bit rough but once the external is done it will all blend nicely with minimal touchup

Wayne, I am always impressed by the practical ways you deal with the issuus that come up.
The finishes you do, are however, simply wizard!

Thanks Guys, managed time to mask the canopy sections and decided to run some Silver over this one for the next stage which can have a Plan A or B depending on how the Green goes on to create the final finish, more later on that...

Didn't add the metal finish on the tail area as this was pre-painted separately with it's unique camo pattern and then added to the airframe.
