Coming in late, but I think I may be able to get this C done before the end of the GB.
It'll be a fairly straight forward oob.

This one will be done as a Condor Legion machine, Spanish Civil War

Excellent.

A quick update. I just got stuck in to this one. Everything went together so well it was just a sort of 'flow', no big reason to stop till now.
I boxed in part of the wheel wells, a slip of plasticard over the fuselage joint on the cockpit rear slope, then just some acrylic fillers on the wing roots. The tail wheel leg was too long so it was shortened, but I didn't bother adding the brace this one should have. Because this kit also makes a B the wing machine gun holes are flashed over, so drilled out for my C.

Just to add cockpit glazing and the u/c covers and its ready for a main painting session.

Yep, same experience I had. Nothing goes wrong on this kit, so why quit building. Can't wait to see the paint job.

Painting has started. But before I continue I need to remove the exhaust stubs and drill out the holes.

State of play this evening/morning; a couple of coats of RLM65 underneath and RLM63 on top. I had the kit canopy glued on and paint applied, then I remembered I'd bought a vac canopy for this model. It is better that the kit one, having a more rounded shape to it.

Some detail painting to do and decals, almost there.

Looking real good now.

Coming along nicely. I like the Condor Legion scheme so looking forward to seeing it finished.

I hope to get this finished tonight, so may be able to post up photos tomorrow.

All done; got a bit delayed at the last, by the decals, they broke up. The first two did, but I coated the rest with LDF, but they still needed some minute touching in.
