A little bit more done here, landing gear and tank oil washed and sponge chipped with vallejo aluminium after a bit of vallejo cement grey was used to add a bit of variation and tones over the main colour . Finished with mr hobby flat clear.

Managed to somehow break off a locator on one of the wheel struts,drilled and replaced with brass tube thatll ill file to the right length when the glues dry.
Most of the weathering has been done underneath and started on top, a few more finishing touches here and there ,will look better once its got a matt coat on.

Looking very nice indeed there Mark,top job on the weathering so far... I'm sure the repair on the wheel strut will be just fine mate .

Mark, nice repair and a great looking build.

Just a little bit more done,lights have been drilled out and the appropriate colour paint put in the holes and had to paint the red prop stripes due to messing up the decals

 

[Tim Marlow]

Going well Mark. Surprised you had to drill the bulbs on the wing lights though, I think mine were already pre drilled.

Cheers Tim, my instructions say just paint the lenses in blue or red clear but what do they know

Actually, you’ve reminded me with that comment. The Japanese used coloured lenses……not coloured bulbs. See here…love the blue metallic primer as well. There are other pictures here if you want them….

The one I had with drilled lights was the Avenger torpedo bomber I did just before it. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Mark1]

No worries

No worries Tim, only take a minute to go over them should i decide to.

A bit more done, very nearly past the post now. It now got all its wheels attached also the tank and cowling are in place,the centre part of the canopy to go. As for the lights the blue one is fitted no problems but as for the other side...ping across the room i see what direction it went but couldnt find it,ill look again when i got some daylight,its the floor is tidy and its there somewhere so im sure itll turn up,failing that there is some spares but slightly larger but think i can get it to work if needs be.
