I have been getting on with those sub-assemblies, weathering and detailing.
With the engines I used steel effect Uschi Metal Powders. Having matted the black painted engine I rubbed the metal powder into the centre boss of the engine with a cotton bud to give it an oily steel look. I then dry brushed the powder over the rest of the engine to highlight detail. It’s a very simple but effective way to depict engines.

The undercarriage painted, matted with a wash applied and dry brushed with the chrome effect Uschi Metal Powder View attachment 496123
The props, for these used a semi-matt varnish then i dry brushed Chrome Uschi Metal Powder over detail, along the edges of the props and a little to depict chips. These metal powder are so versatile for depicting painted metal.

Tomorrow, all being well, I will be doing some masking of the main airframe and spraying black primer.
Maybe take it over to @Andy T and have him use full-size equipment on it?This model is certainly taking a lot of spraying!!!
