Way back in December last year I posted this as my proposed build for this G.B and here we are rocking and rolling!






Cheers.

Nice to see you in on this one Ron. With your brush painting skills, it should be a doddle.

Hi Ron
As Ian says this will be a walk on the park for a "brush master" such as yourself.

I will be looking in as I have a spitfire lined up for later.

Considering your affection for cheapo acrylics, will you be using the posh ones supplied in the kit?:smiling3:

[spanner570]

Well, that's the kiss of death for sure...... :cold-sweat:
Thanks a bundle men!

Rules is rules Mr. D., but despite what folks write about these pot paints I get on with them just fine. But I don't use an airbrush. I guess that is the difference. Just keep the paints thin and all will be good. - I hope!

Up and running.
What a cracking little kit. Nice crisp detail and loads of it too!

Early days I know, but first impressions are very favourable, virtually no cleaning up or fitting.

First stage. The u/c wheel well.






Cheers.

Looking forward to this.

[spanner570]

Thanks Ralph.

I'm in love with a bit of plastic...... :astonished: This kit is superb, streets away from the last 1/72 Airfix aircraft kit I made. Well it was over 60 years ago!

Here's the cockpit. Loose fitted.




Cheers.

[Mr Bowcat]

That does look a nice Kit Ron.

Thanks boys.

Yes indeedy, thus far it's a bonzer of a kit.... :thumb2:

Cockpit finished and ready to button up. Most excellent one piece dials decal. Nice and sharp.
The pilot goes in at the last stage of construction - I hope!




I won't be adding any more painted cockpit detail because...
A- I don't have the correct paints with the kit.
B -It doesn't really matter about 'A' because I'm one of those low lifes who follow the creed 'If it ain't seen it don't get done!' Disgraceful init!

Cheers all.
Ron

All ready for painting.
I always leave most of the appendages off 'till last because I usually knock them off and it makes the painting a whole lot easier.







Cheers.
Ron
