Taking shape nicely Ian.

That's a cracking photo Ian. It looks like a tricky build to take on, lots of elements in there to pull together but you've made a great start.

Thanks Ron and Jason.

Think I've got this ready for the hard bit now, the painting

I can't wait to see more of this Ian - the

water will be a challenge!

Looks good Ian, can't wait to see you work some paint magic on this. It amuses me that given the state of the aeroplane someone has closed the canopy

Wonderful subject Ian and nice destructive work, I will follow.

Got the basic colours on now and the bare metal parts showing. Now it's time to really start the weathering

Photos look okay Ian. Great work so far, that's already looking convincing.

Looks fantastic Ian , the bare metal is totally realistic , all youve got to do now is cover it in 60 years worth of crud !!! cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

Got what Decals I want on to this, I know you won't see much of them but they will help in the flaking paint, grud look

That's looking really good Ian, the bare metal & distressed decals are perfect!

Well you know I like a bit of weathering - but heavens above..............Anyway, two GB's for the price of one - 'Snow and 'from a picture' . Shame you can't do it in 1:24 scale as well.

 

[Guest]

Lovely work Ian, looking forward to the next update

1/24 now that's an idea Colin

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done on this one, I think it's starting to look like the photo now. I also think it's time to start working on the base.
