Right, I am actually working on this... 8)
No piccies as yet chaps, but the 'pit has been painted up in Tamiya XF-24 Dark Grey, and all bits assembled other than the column - I need to drill a hole for it, because there isnt one, then paint it black in situ. Instrument panel has also been painted black as the decal provided completely failed to stick to it. This isnt a big deal, as I am fairly sure the panel won't be visible once the canopy and dorsal turret are in.
Test fit of the fuselage halves last night revealed a gap in the belly large enough to fly a lanc through - this will be a filler job, and it looks like there will be some more work done around the nose, although it will all have to go together before I can see exactly how much needs to be done.
I also went out and got my camo colours yesterday, I have a choice of Tamiya XF-54 or Humbrol 140 for RLM 75, and settled on Revell 49 for RLM 76, as it was the closest I could get my hands on (I wanted Humbrol 175). I did contemplate ordering Lifecolor paints for both, but I refrained as I had to get them mail order, and the postage was more than the paints! Anyhow, as soon as the fuselage is together, I will post some piccies, including the dreaded gap, and then some once the paint is on!
Cheers,
Rich
