Many thanks, it’s a nice kit to build, the hardest bit is cutting some of the smaller pieces off the sprue.

That looks to be a nice kit. Not the usual subject for the scale. That Ammo metallic seems to have gone on well. Is it one of those where they recommend it goes on over a gloss black base?

Sorry for the late reply Jim, it doesn’t say it on the bottle, but I spray all metallic paints over a gloss black.

I’ve had a most productive day today.

The modelling gods are smiling down on me today. Putting the tiny valve wheels on and both pinged out of the tweezers. Luckily found both.

I found two surplus instrument dial decals in my spares box for the two pressure gauges - difficulty was in finding two the same!

Yes I’m going to have a look in my decal box too Dave. I don’t fancy trying to paint the dials on.

 

[papa 695]

Well today’s work.
