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.

Like that yellow Olaf

It's turning out pretty nice.

Vic Balshaw · May 7, 2023

It's coming along nicely Olaf and that yellow really pops.

Really nice

Looks good so far!

Doin' good...!

Well, the basic colours are done- dark earth and some or other Italian-style dark green over a light blue (I used RLM 76), and gloss for the decals, which I will hopefully place today or tomorrow.
A few bits of touching up also still need to be done, but it's crawling along.

Good progress.

You have beaten that kit beast into submission. Very neat and well done....

Vic Balshaw · May 12, 2023

Looking great and nearly done.

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.
