Thank you gentleman. And thanks Paul, that's good to know  Being late to the party, I've gone for a simple one colour scheme. The areas that are going to be painted interior green have been primed. A few cockpit parts have also been glued together. I'll hopefully paint the interior green tomorrow.

Cheers lads. Hope I don't disappoint. As you can see, I've painted the interior green, also the Sea Blue wing parts so I don't have to mask the undercarriage bays when I glue the wing halves together. The engine has been painted whilst still attached to the runner. Those two parts of that will be dry brushed before gluing them together. Tomorrow I plan to glue the wing parts together and if time, a little bit of progress with the cockpit.

Looks like a good kit. Good idea around the painting too, it certainly saves chasing small bit of plastic around with a brush !

Cheers lads, thanks awfully. A little more progress. The wings have been glued together, and the leading edge panted. I've gave all the other parts a coat of primer, and fully painted some of the other pieces.  |

Looks great fella, are you finding the paint interferes with the glue or are you removing it from the joints first?

Thank you gentleman. I do appreciate your posts. Looks great fella, are you finding the paint interferes with the glue or are you removing it from the joints first? Thank you Steve. I use Tamiya extra thin cement (destroyer of plastic & killer of paint). If it's only a mist coat, I find the glue dissolves it. If it's a thicker coat, I give it a light scrape over the joints just to make sure. Cheers, Joe. |

The cockpit is basically the kit decals and a few blobs of paint. As the canopy will be closed, I'm happy enough with it  |
