Still plugging away at this one!
The camo is done, along with the lovely yellow cowls and tail control surfaces. Next up, the grey undersides and then decals!
Obviously, there is still some touch-up work to do, but the finish line is getting closer.

Well, another bit of progress- the decals are on, and she's on her wheels now.
This weekend, I plan to do the bronze collector rings on the cowls, the props and fill in some details on the engines and wheels, then a bit of weathering and remove the masks from the clear bits. In hindsight, my fuselage cross and underwing cross are a fraction too small (about 1mm), but it's close enough to satisfy me now.

Getting close to being a 'strip-show'! Can hardly wait for the finally. Certainly will pop with all the coverings removed.
