Chaps. Cockpit nearing completion, adjust the belts, bit more detail painting and I at least will be happy with it. Apologies for pic quality.   To get it to fit where it should without pinching, you need to grind a fair amount off the wheel well walls.  |

That is lush mate, is that colour straight out of the bottle or did you mix it up?

Small amount of progress. Wings and fuselage now permanent friends. The picture flatters my work slightly, filler will need to be applied in a number of areas.  Ta. |

Thank you kindly chaps. Little more to show today. The engine cowling and distinctive underslung radiator installed. Don't know how other modellers got on with it but I found it needed a lot of work before the parts would even hint at fitting. It's by no means 100% but I really do not have the skills or patience to make it any better. Pics tell the story of filler, not that bad I guess, black dots on the underside are the kit supplied masks.   Cheers. |

I might be being a tad over critical of my work which is nothing new, once primer is on I will probably be happier. Not totally comfortable with the colour on the spinner, should be a little brighter, might repaint. |
