Cool. Any reason why you left the cannon gondolas off for painting?

No real reason, other than perhaps avoiding accidentally breaking the barrels off?

But, that NEVER happens!! Snap...

Nice, any reason for the speckled finish around the forward fuselage area. Just curious.

Works for me, though to make the glue stick properly you'll need to remove the paint, and if you remove too much then you have to touch up.

Rattle-can undercoat- I'm conscious of not building up too thick a layer. It's just there to provide "bite" for the paint.

Thanks Olaf.

Beauty. Awaiting the colours

 

[Crimea_River]

I think the uneven primer will make for a neat finsih.

 

[Wayne Little]

As you wish...

A bit of tidying up to do, but getting there.
Mottling done with bits of sponge.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nicely done so far!

I have decided to try using RLM-coloured decals for the canopy framing- it's ordered from Hannants and should be arriving today or tomorrow.

Ah, some colour brings her to life....!
