Nice and tidy office.

Good job Mick. Can you see the gun bay through the crew door? If not, I’ll probably not paint mine…..

Hi Mick
That cockpit looks very nice. A bit of filling I see along the fuselage but not too bad.

Just had a look Tim and no, I’ve also left the bomb bay closed up too

Thanks Jim, yep just a bit to even it out, I took my eye off it and went to do something else

Taking shape nicely I ended up with a bit of filler in mine too, cockpits looking well.

No you cant Tim but the when I did mine the nose is such a good fit it doesnt need gluing so you can have it open if desired to display the ammo feeds or closed , without a dodgy open panel line .

Great progress mick , have to agree about the seam lines , all too often a visible mould seam can ruin the effect we’re trying to achieve , cheers tony

Never built an aircraft kit yet that didn’t need remedial work on the fuselage seams. What I hate is those seams that open up later, usually during the weathering stage when it’s too late to sort them out….

A hop skip and a jump forward, primed and primary colour underneath. Green added now in slightly larger than required patches ready for masks and grey paint.

Well that's moving along nicely

Blimey.... only looked away for a short while..... and missed LOADS!!!:dizzy:
Excellent stuff Mick,the cockpit looks superb!!
You`re going to finished before i even START mine by the looks of it!!:tears-of-joy:

[Ian M]

Looking better every day. Always good when the paint starts to fly.

[adt70hk]

Coming on nicely Mick!

Another chore free day so more paint. Really pleased with the Top Notch masks but the instructions were a little on the confusing side, probably because it shows reverse colour schemes and not too detailed around the cockpits. That said there was no bleed under them and they remove nice and clean
