I reckon I can get away with building the engines before I have to summon the bravery pills for getting the glazing done!

Progress on the Stirling! After bravery pills the glazing has all been painted and fitted

Turrets are built up too. I built new gun mounts rather than using the traditional Airfix 'gunner with a giant doughnut in his hands' items, as like most of my models it's being built without crew.

It also has markings now. As a 1661 HCU machine it'd have been through at least one or two operational units previously, so would be a little, well, careworn. It's yet to be weathered but on the fuselage I've tried to get the effect of old unit markings being painted out. I think it works...

Engines are built, just need props, fitting, then the whole thing weathering and it's done!
