Cheers, Ian &, Boots. I’ve made a bit more progress. I’ll post a photo in a day or two.

I sprayed the decals with satin varnish, then gave them a coat of gouache to tone down the white slightly. I assembled the wheels, and gave them a coat at the same time. One wheel has been left covered in gouache to show before and after.

Thank you, Paul, Guy, Pete, Boots and, Ian. Much appreciated gentleman. I temporarily attached the wings to the fuselage so I could fix the undercarriage in place. I took a measurement from each wingtip to make sure the wings looked level when the undercarriage was glued in position. The next part will be to mask and paint the transparencies. Then with all being well, it will just be a case of fixing the aerial, and fixing the cockpit canopy into place.

Thank you, Paul, Guy, Pete, Boots, &, Ian. Much appreciated gentlemen. The fuselage is now finished. All that remains are to attach the aerial using EZ Line, and to glue the wings and fuselage together. I noticed in the photo, I need to touch up a couple of areas. When that’s done, I’ll take a few photos.
