Cheers boots, thanks for the vote of confidence

It Seems I’ve got quite a way ahead and neglected to update the thread.

I got into assembling the PE ice cleats which went pretty well to be fair. Cut out all the bits and did it like a production line and sailed through them. I did lose some to the carpet monster unfortunately but hey ho.

After doing the first run I decided they looked too straight and neat, so I bent them about a bit as I did the rest.
Things progressed until, All of a sudden I got painting and I got to this by end of play tonight.....

I was starting to loose interest with it but now I’m back to enjoying it

Just a few more of the delicate parts to add, then I can move into weathering...I’m thinking another muddy one?

Ian, Pete....very much appreciated

The paint was all Tamiya. Base of khaki and black green, then start to highlight with mixture of base colour plus olive green, then added cockpit green to the mix for high highlights.

Ian, Beano, Tommy and Marco.....Thanks very much guys

Started work on the weathering. I’ve gone for a dried, muddy look for the lower bits and I’ll try and add fuel stains and dusty streaks on the fuel tank

Still plenty to do....The hose needs gluing down and the hand nozzle needs tidying up and toning down.
Going to add wear and tear in the I’ll maybe add a few bits like rags and a bucket. The lights, wing mirror and screen wiper will go on right at the end.

Might even do a very simple base?

Sorry for the jibba jabba.....here’s some pics.....
