Mark,
That looks excellent the work on the cockpit is great.

Need a gloss coat to seal in the decals but looking at the wing tanks thought i would get them done first ,the mounts are some etch pieces of which are the only option then realising they are going to be fragile expecially when the tanks are mounted ,the only way im not gonna keep knocking them off i was to fit the landing gear,did want to do this after all the painting was complete but hey ho! A little scrape with a blade here and there and there in. Moral of this story is to attach the tanks to the pylons first then fit to the wing.......as per instructions View attachment 464140View attachment 464139View attachment 464138

Exceptionally way of paying attention to detail looks very impressive Mark

That's excellent work there Mark
If you don't mind me asking.... What did you use to glue the etch to the clear plastic?.... It's such a clean join!

Cheers Andy, the etch is the arch shaped piece in the middle, the half round bit at the back is plastic, for both pieces i used white glue , bit of working time,can be cleaned up easy if you get a bit messy on the first go! and won't cause any damaged to the clear part or paint.

 

[Mark1]

So now its just my new front canopy section to paint and one or two little bits to finish think i can safely say the next lot of pics will be in the completed section.
