That's a nice start but blimey it is small and I wonder if the colour and decals may be too much in this scale. Time will tell. |

Construction is basically complete. Going to leave the undercarriage off for now as I think it may get in the way of some of the decaling. Undercarriage doors will get painted and decaled off the model.![]() ![]() No issues with construction at all, it fits together nice. I had a lot of fun chasing the nose cone around the cave but that wasn't the kits fault.

Some paint added ![]() The bronze is proving to be interesting. I paint it on and it looks good, turn the model a bit and you can see plastic, it's quite odd but a couple of coats and a few patches here and there and it's looking okay. |

It just doesn't look right in that small scale, colour seems too heavy to me but the end result will be worth it I'm sure. |

Waking up early means the descent into madness began just after 5am this morning. Last update before the finish.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no warning in the build instructions but you have to leave the undercarriage off until after the decals are done, the one at the front has a hole that goes round the bay for the front leg, that would be a bugger to put on if the leg was in place. Looking at the instructions I have to have the canopy on before doing the fuselage decals so that will happen tonight. On the decal page there is a recommended list for which ones to do first, these are all on now. All I have to do is fill in the gaps. |
