A bit of slow progress.

After the gloss coat, decals and wash. The large red and blue decal was a bit of a pain. It was well oversized and had to be cut carefully to fit. And yellow bombs, what's not to like about yellow bombs.

Matt coat done with a hint of grey in the mix. Rigging in 1:72 scale is a bit silly - but doing control wires borders on madness !

Now to fit the upper wing and see if my slightly daft rigging idea is going to work.

Wings all attached (well sort of)

After making the rigging taut, the bottoms should just slip into place.
