Looking good. The airplane us a tub from the side but graceful in plan.

Thank you all for the kind comments

Nicely done so far!

So now the main camo is on. The black is Tamiya NATO black and looks about right to my little eye for bomber command black. It's like a very dull dark grey, and a wee bit patchy in places. The rest is Revell dark earth and NATO green. All acrylics brush painted. There's still some touch ups required here and there but the whole thing is moving in the right direction.

Thanks for looking

Cheers Greg

Neato. I haven't used black in ages; either NATO Black or Tire Black

Good evening all, I hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Back to work for me tomorrow until Christmas Eve then I'm off for a fortnight the Wimpy is almost done bar the obvious from the pics below. A question to those with more knowledge first. Did Bomber Command aircraft have yellow tips on the propellor blades? It's not clear from the instructions and thinking about it I would expect two spinning yellow discs could be a bit of a giveaway at night.

Anyway here's a couple of photos, apologies for the lighting. Even in daylight at this time of year it's a bit dull at this time of day.

Thanks for looking, cheers Greg

Looking good, and yes, four inch deep yellow prop tips. ( approx 1.4mm in 1/72nd scale.).
