Looking good Barry.
Odd that they choose to paint the EES's bright green on a camouflage painted hull!

That green, Ian, is a common one used on their attena covers, wheel hubs etc since 1960.
Anyway I have masked and sprayed the wheel wells. Easy masking and no touch ups needed for this.

The painting is just about done.
I will apply the decals straight onto the paint and then the washes before applying a matt coat.
I probably won’t get a chance to do more until Monday.

I have done a panel line wash. These are very shallow and fine, does not take a wash as well as some do.
I will be applying several mist coats of
Semi-Matt varnish next before doing some dry brushing and other weathering. But, I need to leave lots of time for the enamel wash to dry and cure so it probably won’t be until tomorrow.

I have done several mist coats of a semi-matt varnish. I will leave it at that on the rotors but will,once it has hardened, spray another mist coat of matt varnish over the main airframe. I want a slightly different sheen on different areas. This is another way to slightly modulate the effect and create more interest. Not a big difference but it does help improve the overall look.
Coming on very nicely Barry!!! Great work.

I am losing the plot…..
I forgot it was there…..
So, can I pop the canopy or not?
Nothing to lose……
We shall see.

Good luck.....
Done..
It did not go back quite as perfectly as it was but it’s fine. There is a little damage to repair including a small breakage that I spotted on the photo that a piece of stretched sprue can solve.

All finished.
A nice kit and a quick build with no major issues. Recommended.
One quick pic - I will post a completed thread.
