Cheers Jackie. Now I know what this is called though, I keep thinking of War of the Worlds.

Ok, maybe it's just me...

Great choice of kit Dale. I built this a while ago ago with no problems. Looks as if you have everything well in hand.

Luftwaffe paints have arrived, and the clamps are off. Bit of masking and painting can start.

 

[dalej2014]

First real airbrush paint job, so please be gentle. Base coats going on, after priming.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nothing to be gentle about Dale. It looks good to me

Thanks Tim.

Dale I’m in always up to watching a old Airfix Aircraft build.

 

[Mark1]

Looking good.

 

[dalej2014]

Welcome along Lee.

Thanks Mark.

 

[Jim R]

Painting looks fine to me.

 

[JR]

Count me in Dale. Looks fun .

 

[dalej2014]

Thanks Jim.

Welcome John.

Someone pointed out the camouflage would have harder edges between the colours (thank you!), so I've touched it up a tad. V2 as below.

Nice job Dale. It's nice to see a 'vintage' kit getting some attention.

 

[dalej2014]

Gloss varnish layer on; leaving over night to begin decals and weathering.

 

[dalej2014]

Decals done and a bit of touch up painting. I forgot the tail stripes too, so added those. The cockpit colours (red and green) are still to dry in this pic, so I expect them to dull down some.
Weathering to do yet, and other parts to add - prop, undercarriage etc

 

[dalej2014]

The propellor and nose are now on. I have to add the wheels then matte the gloss down, and I'll be calling this done.

 

[adt70hk]

Coming on very nicely indeed Dale!

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Yep, very nice so far Dale.
