That's starting to look rather good indeed. Cockpit belts look good.

Cheers fellas ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Had my COVID jab today and feeling more than a bit off now, so I’ll see you on the other side ![:-[](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png)

Thanks for the support friends ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) It’s been a ‘bit of a few days’ I was off colour after my jab, then just as I felt better started with a toothache! Still forced myself to do a bit, primed and looked for faults and found a couple. Sinks in the underside of the wings, I was going to leave it them but thought I’d better have ago at filling them. Masked off the area to help with cleanup. ![](https://i.ibb.co/mGVWxsq/707-A5-DF3-020-E-4-E2-C-8-D22-547-FB9-BC9-F6-B.jpg) Also found some gap around the canopy so Plastic Putty to the rescue. I gave up masking the frame and bought some Eduard precuts. The moulds were too shallow to trace Tamiya tape around. ![](https://i.ibb.co/5FcKM6m/9-E4-C4-BAF-6563-4-F7-D-AE29-FCCCFA05-FA0-A.jpg)

How much did the masks cost you Steve?

How much did the masks cost you Steve? Hiya Robbo, I think it was £4.50 which is quite expensive seeing as the kit cost me £6 but it did the job.

Steve, excellent work on the A6M. Good call with the Eduard pre-cuts. That would be tough in 1/72 scale to cut.

Cheers Chaps! Paint.. home mix grey colours from various Tamiya. Green is Deep Green with a touch of white. Both over a dark grey preshade. ![](https://i.ibb.co/GQLp264/5-B7-B1466-30-FC-4-AA1-9-A66-C8-D65703-EC6-D.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/X5bcRkS/7-AA584-A8-D346-4-ABF-8-CE5-82-CAC944-C73-D.jpg) Aotake was mix of Humbrol French Blue and Aluminium from their new dropper bottles and good they are too.
