Hey Bish, another nice looking plane there. The cockpit looks great, love those seatbelts and neat looking bomb carts. 

Thanks. There is some nice detail with this and pretty easy to paint. I do like the Flightpath stuff, i just wish they would make some German ground equipment.

Thanks Bob.

Starting out very nicely Bish, the pit is looking great. How is the fit, and is going together easily? Will be watching this until the end.

Thanks Hunter. I got the fuselage together and have just this minute got the wings and tail added, and the fit is pretty nice. It needs a bit of clean up, there are a few pour stubs on the inside of the fuselage one of which was in the way of the pit, but once those are removed, it was pretty good. Only needed a little bit of filler.

Going to leave that to set and get the tractor done now.

What a fantastic amount of detail you've added for that scale.  I don't know how you do it.  I will be following along!

Toshi

Thanks Toshi, glad to have you along. And as i always say, its what i am used to, it really doesn't seem small to me.

I think that plane has gotten a bad rap.  With a couple of Merlins, it might have been a winner.  I will enjoy watching you build her.

Thnaks roony. And ye, i have heard that before. British aircraft ain't my thing so i don't know much. But it does seem it could have been better.

Thanks Johnny. I have been doing a little reading into this and that seems to be a common comment.

Nice unique choice, and a nice one too. This should be cool.

BK

Thanks BK, she is going together pretty nicely.

A bit overdue, but here is my next update. Got the bulk of the construction done, only needed a little filling and sanding.

And then time to get some paint on. Underside was done in Med Sea Grey. On top, dark green and then mixed grey. I did some reading up and found this last colour was an interim colour which later became Ocean Grey. So i mixed 7 parts Med Sea Grey with 1 part night black.

Also got started on the base. I sandwiche a piece of chip board between some 5mm plywood and 6mm MDF.

The balsa surround was added, then staine and varnished.

And i have just added the Celluclay. This has now been brought in to dry.

And next up, my favorite part, adding the decals.

Looking great Bish...Another great paint job! 

Thanks Hunter. I actually used a putty mask this time and was pleased with how it came out, a nice soft edge, which i think is just right in this scale.

Great work so far, Bish on a cool subject! Looking forward to seeing her completed.

Cheers

Martin

Thanks Martin.

Wow, you're moving right along there Bish, camo looks good and those yellow leading edge stripes I hate so to paint turned out very well. 

Thnaks G. I had thought to mask and spray the yellow edges. But when i looked at some pics i saw they were not to neat, a bit like D-Day strips, so decided to hand paint.

Bish !

 That's what I've come to expect from you . Fine work and very good building .Keep on Keepin on !  T.B.

Thanks T.B.

Looking good once  finish up with the E4 and a 66 GTO I'll start on the Gloster Meteor for The 1946 GB

Thanks crown, and will be looking forward to seeing that.

Just a short update as i am almost at the end of this build. With the decals on, i use some flory wash top give a slightly grubby look, Tamiya XF-19 for some exhaust stains and a coat of clear matt.

The base got some grass added once the celluclay was dry.

And the ground equipment was painted and dry brushed and just needs a bit of wear and some dirt.

Just got a few bits to add, sort the figure sout, the fun part, and get it all on the base.

That is a fantastic job you're doing on this build.  I can't wait to see the final product.

Toshi

Thanks Toshi, not much left to do now.

Bish - 

It looks great....really like the wash and staining you applied. The XF19, is that a 80/20 of thinner and paint? It looks amazing Bish.
