I'm sure you'll get those bits put back in their place!

It's looking excellent!

Looks excellent Andy. I do think that the gloss coat makes a model look like a toy.

Agreed, it looks more civilised with it's dull coat on.

Not sure the landing gear is very realistic though!

Still the undercarriage looks a little iffy, Andy. I prefer the first photo though. Nice piece of painting and true the flat base coat does bring it out.

Just caught up on this one Andy. Painting top quality as always. Glad it’s not just me that suffers silvering on very small decals (really don’t know why that happens) and that’s a very good catch. First picture is best though. The camera HDR has over exposed the second shot and wiped out most of your hard won colour variation.

That's a splendid finish Andy. Really looking the part.

Mighty fine work going on here, inspiring and intimidating at the same time!

I baulked at the price of this kit when perusing a 'raspberry ripple' DC3 but seeing your work seems to be worth every penny.

I bought one some time ago, just because it came with skis. I mean, an aircraft on skis, brilliant.

Thanks once again for the great comments guys, I'm glad you like it.

My biggest regret is having to leave them in the box, I just couldn't think of a viable cover story

I'm sure they will appear on some kit bash in the future.

All finished now.

Thanks for following along, there are some pictures in the completed section
