Thanks guys
The panel line work has been completed. I used thinned tempera paint this time, applied with a very thin brush and wiped after dry.

Thanks
Did a bit of work on it today before work tonight (2nd shift) but didn't have time for pictures. Got the nose guns in and the gear legs glued on along with the tail wheel.
Pictures tomorrow (working 3rd shift) and hope to get the wheels, gear covers and exhaust done which should only leave the final pictures.

Main gear wheels and covers installed
Tail wheel and doors installed
Flaps on
Exhaust stacks drilled out painted and glued on after some unexpected trimming, The base was way too big for the slot it was supposed to fit in and it had a tab instead of a peg to fit the hole in the kit.
Also the prop on but not glued, I think I will leave it not glued.
And at last it's done!!!
Now comes the really hard part, cleaning off my work bench so I can take the final pictures.
