Looking great Jamie. The code and serial decals are done. I just need to give them another clear coat tomorrow (Wednesday), let them fully dry, then I should get them in the mail on Thursday.

well its done have enjoyed it lots of firsts on this one for me ,seatbelts(cigarette paper) altering wings ie removal of 4 large cannon fairings and blisters ,hand painted roundels (nightmare) ,first use of aftermarket parts (prop) pretty fragile compared to the normal ones and my personal favorite the airbrush .of the 3 models i have built since coming back to it i definately think this is the best yet . I value your opinions guys so be honest if you think it could have been done better or a different way please say so .Here she is then

Looks very good Jamie. The only criticism (allowing for it's only your third model) would be the heavy rivets, especially on the cowling. For future reference, if you want to leave traces of the rivets, but remove the huge dome heads, just gently run the edge of your scalpel blade over them (before painting of course!), keeping the blade vertical. This will 'soften' them, but leave the impression.
Wish I'd known the kit didn't have the fuselage roundels - I think I've got a spare set the right size you could have used!!

I think you've done a great job Jamie. The only things I can see are very nit picky indeed and take away nothing from the job you've done. But since you asked, here are the VERY MINOR things I see:
To paint the roundels by hand had to be very tough and I think you did great. Since you're using an airbrush, masking and airbrushing the roundels might have been easier for the outer circles, especially the yellow, which is a very difficult colour to paint. A coat of white underneath and then yellow airbrushed on makes the best finish.
Just in front of the cockpit you can see very small areas where the seam could have used a bit of filling. You cften can't see these things til after you paint them, and even then, sometimes only when you take a picture. After filling and sanding, paint the whole model in a thin, light colour primer coat. That allows these little things to be seen much easier.
The only other thing I saw was that the propeller looks like it had individual blades and they appear to be not all in the same plane and perpendicular to the spinner axis. Could be my eyes though.
Still, I think it's a great model. You should be proud!
