Amazing work, I love the way you paint most of the model before assembly.

Cheers Paul. Thank you Pete, I find painting the parts like that saves me a bit of time. I glued the fuselage from the inside using a bent paint brush and Tamiya extra thin cement. The bottom photo shows the joint ready for painting.

Paul, Pete, Marco and,Ian. Thanks awfully chaps. As you can see, the decals are in place ready for a coat of varnish tomorrow. All being well, I hope to get it finished in time.  |

It’d scare me to death applying the decals before joining the airframe but you’ve got Tamiya’s fit to help a little  |

Thanks lads. Steve, your right, the fit is very good. Almost there. I could have made a better fit with the checkers on the cowling.  |

Thank you Wouter and, Paul. I managed to finish it today. I'll post a few photos tomorrow hopefully in the 1/72nd gallery. I lined the checkers decal up on the forward panel line. I should have lined it up on the rear of the cowling. Also,I didn't make a very good job with the paint finish. Thank you for looking in  |
