[JohnRatzenberger]

I'm still waiting to see the u/c doors

You'll be waiting for a long time

[AndrewR]

The PE windscreen wipers have been installed.



As black objects on a black background, there's not a lot to see



The gun pod has been installed, and true to form, did not blend in nicely with the fuselage

A bit of filler has been applied, and I'll need to do a wee paint touch up.

[AndrewR]

Ready for the final varnishing now. But the Airfix Be2c is occupying the paint station.

[AndrewR]

I'm counting this one as finished.









The kit is a bit of a dog.




The Freightdog conversion set is excellent.

Well done persevering though that. Looks great from here.

PS - what scale is the furry thing?

That's a 1:1 Monty. You might call him The Full Monty.

Looks very good, great work!

Andrew, I have a question. It was all painted up, decalled and the canopy unmasked and then you said you were going to do 'final varnishing'. So did you remask the canopy for that or what?

I shielded it with a post-it note while spraying. Saves loads of time.

And there are very delicate PE windscreen wipers on the canopy, which I doubt would survive me slapping Tamiya's finest all over!

[Barry]

Very interesting conversion and real eye catching color scheme.

[Old_Tonto]

Agreed, she is a real beauty.

[Purplethistle]

Outstanding! and all the more impressive for knowing how it fought you every step of the way.
