He's come out great Mick...
.... as has the cockpit mate .

Thank you, a slightly over engineered cockpit but goes together ok

 

[Mickc1440]

Made it to undercoat.

And mine has barely started!

Looking good Mick.

I missed this Mick - sorry. What an unusual subject. The kit allows for skids or wheels?? Pilot looks great. You've made fast progress so no real issues. I look forward to the winter camo.

And mine has barely started!

Looking good Mick.

Thanks Andrew, not a massive parts count. Hoping to get some top coats done tomorrow

Wow, flying along Mick. Looking good in the primer. Like the love child of a Hurricane and P40!

Looking forward to seeing some colour...

Thanks Nick, it does have some nice clean lines

 

[Mickc1440]

First white coat applied, hopefully tomorrow I'll get some masking done

Looking very good Mick!

Looking very good Mick!

Thanks Andrew, got some more bits painted up so almost ready for a clear coat

Mick,
The paint looks good.

Not sure if it's the angle of the shot but I have just noticed that its lines are not dissimilar to a Hurricane, at least at that angle!

Mick,

Thanks pal, I’ve got the underside done now so more pics soon.

It certainly has the look of several different aircraft

 

[Mickc1440]

Not forgotten this one but work got in the way. Another clear coat applied ready for a bit of weathering and started on a base. As I was attaching the last few pieces, the separate exhausts, one of the smallest pinged off into space shouting it’s goodbyes as it disappeared. I managed to make one from a small rocket fin and plastic strip and now painted looks good enough.

 

[adt70hk]

That's coming on beautifully Mick! Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the base!

 

[Geoffers]

Ooow, that’s very nice Mick

Geoff.

 

[minitnkr]

Love it.

 

[Mini Me]

Very well executed Mick, love the wintery base!

 

[Waspie]

Woo-Hooo, that's superb Mick.
