Just caught up with your build Tim. And I'll repeat what everyone has said, that cockpit is just bang on. Superb.
Cheers Doug. Everything there was in the kit. AllI had to do was stick it together and paint it.

Your going great guns with this one Tim :smiling4:

Must say your a brave man adding the pitot tube at this stage. I can guarantee I’d be re gluing it at least half a dozen times :confounded:

Geoff.
Cheers Geoff. It is well fitted, and not much masking is required, so it should survive the painting. If it doesn’t, I’ll replace it with brass tubing….

Well, that looks to have gone nicely…..

Quite pleased with that. Fading is there, but not overwhelming. Gloss is now on and drying, so stickers next……interesting to do a single colour aircraft. It’s not something commonly used by other WW2 powers, unless a night or winter scheme.
 
A very nice finish Tim, that preshade pops perfectly, and the tonal shading on the wings is superb, top marks mate
 
That preshade has gone well. It shows beautifully under the top coat. A nice light touch with the airbrush.
 
Was sure that I commented on this last night!!:flushed:
As the guys have said,that looks excellent Tim, very realistic.... I really like that colour, quite unusual :thumb2:,
Going to be a winner this one :hugging-face:.
