Spritz, spritz, spritz....Vallejo Model Air 71046. This is their original RLM76. The new number is 71.257. I noticed my windscreen went askew during the process

Ditto 
Geo, I replied to this thread months ago, when you started building it. In a P.S. I mentioned the round cover in the rear part of the fuselage, right side, which you didn't fill as I see (it was written in the instructions to fill it). This cap is seen only on G-10/U4 with the MK 103 in the nose. AFAIK the model you are building is a "normal" G-10 with a MG 151/20.
Cheers!

Thanks for that Yves
CATCH 22 Totally forgot about it. I was struggling trying to attach the mass balances and the brain went sideways. Anyhoo....masked off and filled with Mr. Surfacer 500. Cleaned it up with IPA and a light sanding. Because there might be some slight residual from IPA and Vallejo goes apesh!t even being in the same room as IPA, I put on two light coats of Tamiya light grey, sanded and spritzed
Moving on..............

Good stuff Geo and Yves.
My work in progress - starting to paint the ejector seats. Not very accurate, but this is OOB.
And you were right Geo. Vallejo does NOT like other paints - very awkward trying to cover the Vallejo base with Tamiya and AK acrylics. Will take a number of coats yet I reckon.
Also been making a Halifax prop for a mate. Converted a Novo (ex- Frog) F6F-3 prop (attic wreck from a mate) by chopping the remaining blade off (other two were already broken off), turning them round and reattaching them in opposite direction for a left hand dihedral, filing down lumpy hub details, and building up the hub with Mr. Surfacer 500.
Not perfect, let down by the airbrush again and small blemishes I thought I had dealt with properly appeared after painting, but hopefully looks the part.
1: Second Frog prop showing original condition and rotation.
2: Early stages of modification
3: As she stands.

Cheers Geo.
Great job! My brain goes sideways a couple of times a day, somewhere between "3 and 33" times (to quote a famous movie, I believe).

Cheers guys. Really need to sort the airbrush issues, but hopefully will do the trick.
