Where I am up to now.
Well I'm not really tackling much painting as yet as waiting for Compresor and stuff ....... Anyway lots of little things done and decided to assemble the ordnance and stores ( blimey you get a lot ) so decided to build them all and number them for later when it comes to painting etc. Majority of the missiles come with a Perspex nosecone( camera ) I believe and they will be attached once painted.
Question: live missiles? I'm not 100% sure on this but some countries have a red band painted on the missile to denote live or dummy, but neither in the decals nor pic ref does it show this. How does one find out
I've also constructed the undercarriage bays and had some thinned Rlm Grey XF22 so used that as a thin primer ( will be intermediate blue once painted and then picked out detail/ wash
Next little builds will be the undercarriage
Pics and comments welcome
