There is indeed a bench under there; I like to have the paint pots close to hand and ready for use as construction jigs!

Mossie it's a surprisingly good kit for an old one. The only problem I've encountered so far was a reluctance for the port fuselage to sit square on the wing.

Well it's looking a bit more like an F82. I managed to get a coat of paint on it on Friday

The props got blacked up too, blades satin, spinners matt

Props, screens and canopy frames fitted

Glazing then went on, and the decals followed shortly after

Even the props got their decals! I have to admit I nearly didn't bother, but I'm glad I did.

So this is where it's at now; pretty damn close...

Looks nice. Must admit I don't normally bother with the propeller decals myself.

Well I managed to get this build finished on Saturday morning. The radar, pylons, drop tanks, gear doors and pitots/aerials were all that remained to be fitted. Sadly in the midst of this I dropped the bugger and broke off one prop and snapped a main gear leg! :dead
Fortunately it all fixed fine, the beastie is done and dusted. Will post pics once I have chance to break out the camera and take some decent ones.
