Well, tomorrow is Christmas eve down under so to all you great folks out there, a VERY MARRY CHRISTMAS to one and all. Have a great holiday, eat, drink and have fun but most of all STAY SAFE.

Many thanks gents for taking the time to look in and for the kind words. Managed to get it buttoned up today after spending most of the morning doing the lap seat belts.




I had no problem with the tail support struts Wayne the fit was good, but I did mange to snap one and have had to put a support rod in behind it. A close inspection of the above pic and you will see them. I evened the build by adding one to the other strut.

This being my first post on this thread for 2024, may I wish all you good people out there a Happy New Year filled with good health, prosperity, great food and a year of enjoyable modelling.

It has bee a bit of a rough back end of the year ans what you see below is the culmination of the last 9 days efforts. It has been a sick week with what I at first thought was covid but after three negative tests assumed it was just a very nasty virus that has knocked seven bells of sh** out of me. Anyway, here is the progress:

After an initial primer coat I applied some aluminium and then liberal quantities of hairspray.


We then did some panel lining in black followed by the underside and side wall colour of RLM 65 (SMS PL189).



Today I applied the first camo colour of RLM 02 (SMS PL179).

 
Looking good Vic, and Happy New Year.
For the 'flu bug, may I suggest Captain Morgan's Gold Spiced rum ?
It might not cure the 'flu, but after half a bottle you won't notice anyway !!
I've had a lot of Christmas cake dipped in brandy and what was left in the bottle went over the Christmas pud and then I couldn't find the matches to light it so had to just eat it as is.
 
Nice details my friend. In particular those seat belts are beautiful
