Yes, I am definitely one of the luckier ones at the moment
Love this plane Dave. My Beaufighter was a lot of fun to build. really enjoying watch yoy make this Blenheim
A little more progress, the dark green on top and the Night underside done.
Got to redo some work on the propellers, forgot about the yellow tips, so will mask off and lightly sand the tips to remove the black before spraying the yellow.

I forgot that on my beaufighter. yellow is a difficult colour at the best of times but over black it's a lifetime chore to paint. Got there in the end. But thats looking nice Dave. Did you do the black underside ?
Yes, it comes up the side as well, the black can be seen just behind the turret hole.
Oh I see it.
Ok some more work done, clear coat and the decals added. Very few decals to add on this bird.
Last few delicate bits added and the yellow tips added to the propellers.
Done a little bit of weathering but not much, scanning through WWII era photographs in my references and online they generally look in pretty good condition with very little exhaust staining etc.
