Playing ketchup Ron and love the idea to show the guts. Unfortunately, I don't think the finished product will withstand very much chucking-up for pics to post in the completed section...Now, of course, maybe you have another evil plan for that.........Fantastic work so far Sir!!!

Nice progress 570, the guts of this girl look pretty much stuffed with goodies to drop on the jerries. Love all the scratchy that is going into this.... will be the "bomb" when finished!:tears-of-joy:

Thanks Rick, but really, is that the best you can do to end a post?:tongue-out3:;)

On we go.....

I've brushed on a first coat of some Vallejo Air interior green and some Aluminuumn too! No primer. The both paints covered the bare plastic remarkably well. Could well leave it at that. I'll see.

I've just realised a bit of scratchery is needed in this area too. I'll have to add them later.
Cheers.

Well Ron, I imagine if you brought your laptop or iPad with you and played ketchup here on the forum, time would 'fly' by pretty quickly......Just saying.........
