And this chaps, is why we don’t vacuum the floor during a build.
Found it. After emptying my bin, the vacuum cleaner was next on the list, and there it was. The hydraulic ram from one of my Mustang landing gear doors.

Rick, yes, I would agree, Airfix got this right. It is a really nice kit.Just had a read through and am very impressed with this build. Seems Airfix got it right....good progress on this Colin.....looking forward to the shiney stuff.
A morning’s work in the company of messer’s Alclad and Harder & Steinbeck.
Coming on very nicely indeed Colin!
Cling film for masking, it’s the future.
There’s a rather large yellow pin stripe under all that masking. Then the olive drab anti glare paint was applied. It’s a little bit shiny at the moment, but that’s what MRP does.
Masking removed. That’s a great advantage of MRP, it drys so quickly.
I couldn’t resist a bit of light chipping on the engine cover.

Looking mighty fine colin , looks a lovely kit to build , cheers tony
Niiiiice!
That's a great looking paint job so far Colin
Your very lucky to find it in all that fluff Colin.
That’s looking sweet Colin.
I could have sent him mine. I did not use them on mine. The wheel covers are closed when they are parked, so I didn't have to do to much in the wheel wells lol.
She is looking VERY nice in her 'birthday suit' lol.
They are, but as the hydraulics 'relax' they fall open. Which is really unfortunate as when hydraulic pressure is restored on engine start up, the doors close rather quickly.
It was a very satisfying moment.
It is. I really wanted something more 'up market' but could only find the Airfix at short notice - but what a find it was.
The final bit of yellow is now painted. So, I’ve slapped a few decals on. As expected, Airfix decals are behaving perfectly.
That's looking very good indeed!!! Coming on very nicely!!!!

Certainly eye catching Colin, beautiful paint work .
It’s always nice to see them standing on their own three wheels.
All decals are now done. As ever Airfix have been very generous with the amount of decals provided.
