Hi Guys

Just finished up all the detail today. There's probably a few more things to do weathering wise, but I like it as is.

Pic 1 2
I've added those paint marks to finish off the wheels and tyres.

Pic 3
Attended to all the fiddly bits. Undercarriage gear doors added, antennae added front and radio antennae at the rear from just behind the radar operator to both tail booms. Matted the paint with an acrylic agent. Wheels added. Paint chips to the leading edge of the wings. Oil cooler vents and screens added.

Props ready to go after assembly, and canopy masks removed.

Phew!! - finished photos are in the bag.


Thanks for all the encouragement on this one guys. First model I"ve finished in well over 18 months.

Cheers

Peter
