Hello Chaps,
Despite the lack of updates I have been busy beavering on with the build.
So here’s a quick update of progress so far.
The cockpit isn’t overly detailed and I decided to keep it simple due to wanting to finish the build by the time of the anniversary of the raid.
Following the priming it went together fairly easily.
The front section of the cockpit and gun turret interiors were given a coat of Vallejo
Model Air 71.056 Panzer Dark Grey instead of the recommended black as it seems more in scale. The rear of the cockpit and interior was painted with Vallejo
Model Air 71.305 interior grey/green
The various
decals were then added while the pilots seat harness was picked out by brush.
Once these had settled the cockpit/interior was given a simple oil wash to tone it down a bit.

The wings have also been built up and the engine nacelles were added once the undercarriage bays were constructed.

Most of the ancillary parts have been put together including the Upkeep mine.

So a bit more construction to go but I think I’m on track to finish in time
Another update soon, thanks for looking
Geoff.
