All ready for paint now.
The front tip of the tail had been faired in with CA, and the cockpit installed and windscreen also faired in with CA. The front of the canopy was not a great fit and needed some shims and a lot of filing to blend it into the fuselage but after sanding with 600 and 1000 grit wet dry followed by a 3 grit nail file polisher and a coat of Future the clarity was restored.

With help from Andy and George, these are the colors I've decided to go with. I'll be masking the cockpit this morning and hope to get the RLM 76 sprayed later today

Managed to get a lot of the paint on today 76 on the bottom, a mix of 76 and 02 on the upper fuselage and 63 on the wings. Next comes the fun part with the 83 mottling
