Well, here's some more for yas.
All the resin parts were washed, dried, primed, and then the main casting received a coat of black, as most of it represents items in deep shadow. Then individual sections of pipe were picked out in their respective colours, all as called out by Eduard's instruction sheet and backed up, more or less, with reference pictures. The STORMO page has a sheet specifying the colour codes and it would appear that green is coolant, brown is oil, and pneumatics are blue. The yellow bits have something to do with the fuel system.
More individual pieces of pipe were then added and brush painted something I really don't like doing with Tamiya paints but there's no choice really. The silver engine mount, which I managed to break when removing it from the casting block, had to then be threaded through all the pipes. The fit was amazingly precise.
The plug was then glued to the main spar and firewall, which received a coat of grey and yet more bit of pipe were added.
There's still one more piece of coolant pipe to add and then a bunch of PE wiring so this is one busy little area. All of it looks a bit toyish right now and once everything is installed, I'll give it all a grimy wash and matte coat to dull the colours down.
Thanks for poking your head in guys.
