Nose looks great indeed, nice progress, cheers
Looking good mate
I've painted the camouflage now. It was brush painted.
Now moving on to the mottling on the sides. I've been researching this and will be stippling using a cut off brush. I've never done this before so here's hoping it turns out okay.
And no idea why I've removed the canopy mask as I need to apply a few clear coats later. Oh well.

Looking good so far Mike, goodluck with the mottling, cheers
Good luck with the mottling I can't offer any advice as I have never had a go.
Mike, good luck with the mottling, I too had not tried it before, but have done mine using a trimmed brush and a dabbing motion, and I can live with the result.
Looks great Mike 
Who needs an airbrush

That looks great Mike.
Looking good. Those spinner spiral things are a pain. A mottle camo with a brush is a tricky one. Looks like you did well.
I agree looks good to me.
Mottling looks great. I used the same technique on my German Halftrack build, with a cut down brush, but went a bit too heavy with it. Yours is much lighter so looks much nicer.... 
Very effective finish You've achieved there Mike.

That's turned out very nicely.
Nice work Mike, coming along very nicely
That mottling has come out well.
Looking at the box art I would say you pretty much nailed that Mike. Great job.
I've finally finished the decals. They went down well with only a few dramas.
I've managed to lose one of the tiny stencil decals but no one will notice that one. I also managed to destroy one of the crosses on the fuselage. I applied Micro Sol and accidently touched the decal before it had dried, leaving a sodden gunky mess on my finger. The decal was beyond repair but luckily I had spares. So next step is to give another gloss coat then start on washes and weathering.
