Very nice Mick, it seems well detailed and should look good when painted :smiling3:

Looks nice!

He looks very good mate.

He looks superb to me mate,a cracking figure .

Thanks gents, he’s now undercoated and will look much better with arms :smiling:

Bit more progress made. The instructions are a little vague in places and some steps in the wrong order, like masking up the tail light that doesn’t get fitted yet but it is what it is and that’s why we enjoy this hobby. Pilot is nearly finished as is the cockpit. Can’t remember the last time I did one straight oob.

Thank you, a slightly over engineered cockpit but goes together ok

[Mickc1440]

Made it to undercoat.

And mine has barely started!

Looking good Mick.

I missed this Mick - sorry. What an unusual subject. The kit allows for skids or wheels?? Pilot looks great. You've made fast progress so no real issues. I look forward to the winter camo.

Looking good Mick.

Thanks Andrew, not a massive parts count. Hoping to get some top coats done tomorrow

Wow, flying along Mick. Looking good in the primer. Like the love child of a Hurricane and P40!

Looking forward to seeing some colour...
