You can't get a better stress free kit than a Tammy one and all of us look good because of it but it stll needs skill not to mess it up. :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,

Thanks for sticking with me Tim & Richard.

I've painted the pilot this morning. Still plenty of room for improvement but I think he's my best yet. Looks better at a more realistic distance, snuggled into the office.

Andy. The updates Looks great

 

[Tim Marlow]

Good looking pilot. He looks right at home there!

 

[Neil Merryweather]

room for improvement? I'd be VERY happy with that at 1/48 scale

 

[Steve Brodie]

looking really good, fuel tender is very neat. one question, I wasnt sure if the pilot would be seated whilst been refuelled. I now nowadays fast jets can be fuelled 'Hot', not sure about WWII, hence the question. which i have answered myself :flushed:

Hi Andy
Pilot looks great. Very neat filling and rescribing.

Thanks for the great comments everyone!

Neil, I'm always really critical of what I do. I'm very happy with him though, and starting to get to grips with a wet palette so might even get a bit better in the future.

Steve - I was going to play it by artistic license anyway, but that picture is a bit of back up and very close to what I had in mind. Great find, thanks!

With the pilot settled in, I did a bit more this afternoon.

Everything is now in primer and I've started doing some of the colouring in.

I was hoping to make a start on the Neutral Grey underside tonight but I put a large laceration in my trigger finger at work earlier!

Being the companies first aider and having to dress my own favoured hand by myself was a bit challenging to say the least, but I generally heal very quickly so it should be right soon enough

Needless to say, I won't be picking the airbrush up for a couple of days :smiling5:

 

[rtfoe]

Andy, at least you can still show A..holes the other finger :tears-of-joy: Rest easy.

Cheers,
Richard

With my trigger finger still a bit dodgy I swapped the airbrush for some of my sons crayons for the colouring in. Luckily he had several shades of olive drab so I could mix it up a bit, and being crayons I didn't have to mask off some individual panels for a bit of variation

Stickers & weathering next.

(nose is only blu tacked on at present, hence the poor fit)

Looking better and better Andy. Pre shade is showing well.
