Great start to the painting Bob, that looks so smooth

Morning all, long time no post.

After confidently saying I'd fixed the boot lid divots, they came back a day or so later, guess the filler shrank. However after another couple of rounds of fill, sand & paint I think I have finally fixed that issue, it's been 6 days since the last fix and so far so good.

Since then I've been getting everything else painted, so the chassis, running gear and interior are now ready for assembly. Next up will be decals.

Looks good Bob, glad you got those sink marks sorted

Bob, I feel your pain mate every filler I try either shrinks or comes out when sanding back. I really miss the old Squadron Green that was a great filler, easy to use and set rock hard.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

You know, i think I have some squadron green somewhere. 🤔

[Mr Bowcat]

A very good morning all.

Pushing on with this and I now have some completed sub-assemblies.

Chassis and running gear. I didn’t bother detail painting the chassis. Some of the panels should be aluminium, but the kit is going in a clear case and no one will ever look underneath it.



Cabin.




And the decals on the body, ready for glossing tomorrow.
