masked her up today, ready for paint, but camera was dead as a maggot, think the battery must be cactus, only charged it a few days ago....pics will have to be tomorrow now after i charge my other battery. Hopefully will put the Grey on and start the green.
 
After a roller coaster ride the past few days I have pushed forward, yesterday sucked , no matter what just could not get things right for painting....airbrush being a pain, paint not wanting to play the game, gave up in frustration....today used my other identical airbrush with same nozzle set and had no problem at all with anything, just ran out of lunchtime to finish the green so bit more work tomorrow.

Clearly I will not be done by Sunday, gonna take me an extra week to finish it.....

Here I am at close of play today......

Thanks Guys.

have finished the green and retouched up the inner black stripe, will touch up some spots of upper grey tomorrow and then be ready for some gloss...don't have many decals to put on this one...
 
Thanks guys, sadly I didn't get any time on her this weekend, so the final stages will commence tomorrow with finishing the paint, and will pull out all stops to be done next weekend as it's a 3 day weekend!
 
Oh, this is a great looking model Wayne!
I like your painting technique, camo looks very, very good.
Can't wait to see the end result!
 
Primary paint is done....gloss tomorrow.
