Thanks Steve.
I've been dealing with the landing gear and belly tank. Should be ready for a gloss varnish soon.
Cracking paint job Joe, it’s looks very lovely

Ready for the gloss coat and decals
That looks so real to my untrained eye, very much looking forward to it's completion.
Got the gloss on today, and hoping to get some colour on with the decals soon.
Little late to the party being a new member, excellent build so far mate

Cheers Steve, been a while since I freehanded so this was a fun paint job

Progress! What started as an hour or so turned into an entire afternoon of applying decals. Italeri omitted many of the decal numbers, and got some wrong. Took me a while to work out that 41 is I fact 14! The belly tank had decals but no placement instructions, so I did some research online for those.
The wing walk way decals were a real pig to work with, but they have very little carrier film so the end result should look okay.
Having said all that, the decals were superb.

Thank you Chris. I will put it in the completed section, but there are still a few stages to go before it's done and ready for public consumption
I spent today doing some light weathering and everything is ready to go on once the flat coat has been applied. Just lights and probes to be painted. Next time you see this it will be finished.
Fantastic Joe. I shall look out for the finished pictures.
Thanks for following and commenting on the build guys, it's been interesting to revisit this old kit. I won't be doing another one though!
