Just about finished the underside:
I'll let a few touchups dry overnight, and hopefully get a clear coat on tomorrow. Decals soon!

Pete,
That's looking very nice mate.

Have to agree, very nice indeed
Ooooh!!! Rockets and torpedos, and most excellent workmanship and painting...What's not to love here Peter!!! Keep it coming...

Now she's looking nice, you can't beat loads of rockets or torpedoes.
I'm not sure if they ever carried rockets as well as the torpedo, but it looked a bit bare without the rockets. The 6 .303 machine guns were removed from the torpedo versions, but they still had 4 20mm cannon. Must have made a hell of a mess of the target!

Gloss coat on, and I've started on the decals:
They don't show very well, but there are 24 decals on the underside!

Great work Pete
Nice work….could only see about fifteen though…
Six on each wing, six on the tailplane, the rest on the fuselage, includin two that are hidden by the torpedo!

All the decals are now on. Just the props and then it can have a matt coat.

Just when it was all going well...
Used a little too much Extra Thin - then didn't notice and tried to turn the prop! That'll get sanded and repainted when it's dry.

Two steps forward, one step back Pete. Shame about the oops on the prop. You could just leave it and say she flew into a really big bird and that's all what's left of it...Just a thought...

Well, I'm calling this finished. The BMF came off OK - it did leave a bit of adhesive on the canopy 
but that cleaned up with a cotton bud and Sansodor.
So I braved the cold to get some outdoor pics:
A really excellent kit, good fit on all the parts and very little cleanup needed. Scheme is a 489 Squadron RNZAF aircraft based at RAF Dallachy in 1945.
