The metal colour looks great, what brand is it chap ? It's a Tamiya rattle can. Bare metal silver AS-12. It gives a very nice finish straight from the can.

Cheers Pete and Boots. With the fuselage finished, I've made a start on the booms. Because there is a seam line running up the centre of the booms, I'm going to try painting the booms fully before joining them together. Hopefully I'll only have small sections of the seams to deal with when it comes to touching up. This will also save me masking the undercarriage bays and breaking off the undercarriage and door parts that stick out when doing so. Some of the parts stuck to a tape board for spraying.

Thank you Mence, Pete, Boots, Paul, and CeeBee. This kit just falls together, the fit is that good. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've made a little progress in the last few days. I glued the boom halves together gluing from the inside as much as possible. There was only one area that needs a bit of attention, that's on the underneath, forward of the undercarriage bay. I made a homemade sanding stick the correct width (see photo), and gave the seam a quick rub over. In the photo this shows as the white line which will need a quick blow over.

Cheers Paul, Steve, Armorguy, Boots and, Pete. Much appreciated. Had time to cut out and fit the mask supplied with the kit today. Never used these before, but the fit is very good.

Very nicely masked Joe . I usually make my own masks for glazing, and after they are applied I'll give them a light coat of gloss. This is to be sure there's no bleeding under them when the colour goes down
