Tonight I'll do all the detail painting with the plan of closing up the body this weekend.

Painted up the panels last night then added some washes this morning so later matt varnish will go on. I didn't spend a lot of time on these as they will almost be invisible on the finished model.

Cheers chaps glad you like, Boots no chance of a cut away, not my thing. Well after a blast of VMS matt & a dusting of pigments the interior is now fitted. As you can see with the upper hull in place bugger all can be seen. However we know it's there! Just finished up gluing the two hull halves together so while I'm waiting for that to dry I'll start cleaning up some of the remaining parts.

Cheers guys glad you like it. I've now finished the construction of the model and have tweaked a few areas on the hull. It looks so cool with the launcher in place as well. So next stop will be a wash in soapy water before a ton of primer!
