In the paint shop. I decided to use the airbrush as I need the practice!!!

Just final assembly, decals, some details and then a bit of dirtying left to do.

It's had a bit of drybrushing and a wash but neither shows up much. I also chickened out of mudding it. So, let's assume it's just been delivered to the frontline. Being colourblind made it impossible to see the difference between the dark green and red/brown paint so there's probably some errors there and some of the brush touchups show too much but I'm declaring this done.

The detailed mouldings on this kit were incredibly fine and crisp. Sorry for the fuzzy photos but I took them without flash so they are a bit prone to hand-wobble.

Now hopefully I can get back to an aeroplane or two after Christmas.

Great work on an unusual kit, I am amazed to read that you are color blind, it certainly does not show in your work.

I've missed some of this for one reason or another over the last week or so and I have to say that has turned out very well David. Great work.
