You must be taking "speedy pills", Andy, judging by how quickly this is coming together. Cockpit does look good. The paint job is eyecatching.

Brilliant work Andy. Not withstanding the 'adjustments ' to the engines, the aircraft was looking good before your mods.
I have to say the aircraft has a loverly profile. Loving it.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks.

The tan colour is looking a bit yellow for my liking now it's against the green, so I may have a go at toning it down.

 

[JR]

That's looks the part alright. As always your painting Andy is top notch .
Oh tried those drills, perfect , that was a relief.

 

[minitnkr]

Looking exceptional.

Always happens to me Andy as colors look very stark just after a fresh coat but will level out eventually after toning, wash and weathering.

Cheers,

Fingers crossed. I don't think the pictures help, it looks more subdued in person.

I've added a couple of patchy glaze coats with a buff & neutral grey mix and that seems to have done the trick and also added a bit more variation.

Looking great Andy.

 

[Andy T]

Decals on, a bit of detail painting, and gloss coated.

Thats looking superb andy , the paint is amazing . Nice job sorting the see through engines . If you fancy a larger scale then Monogram did a lovely 1/48 version , best to look out for it in a Revell boxing though to ensure good decals ( the older Monogram ones look great - until they hit the water and start to disintegrate a bit !) cheers tony

 

[Ancientmariner]

Holy smokes you build fast?!

Loving the camo, great scheme and beautifully painted

Thanks Tony. I've looked at that one and also the trumpeter which is a much newer kit. Not sure that would necessarily make it any better though.

Thank you. I do tend to get carried away if I'm enjoying a particular build and spend far too much time in the shed!

 

[Jim R]

Decals always see to bring a plane to life. This looks great.

 

[JR]

Did I expect anything less ,no, that my friend is tops.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Top notch finish as always Andy. Great stuff!

 

[rtfoe]

Nice paint finish Andy, waiting for the ordnance...this little guy can really pack it on.

Cheers,
Wabble

 

[Mickc1440]

That's a great paint finish Andy

 

[Andy T]

Thanks all.

I had to work today then was dragged to the pub by my better half, so no progress. Should be cracking on with it again tomorrow though.

Andy,
That is looking the nuts.
