Primer won't be long now! pretty much finished the build phase now with just some straps to add to the canvas engine covers tomorrow then t can get a very careful wash before primer. As you can see the new rear hull bin arrived and has been fitted and looks the biz! Engine deck finished off and the last few bits added. very pleased with how it looks and can't wait to get paint on.

primer is now on and it's really helped to merge everything together. Looks pretty cool as well! A couple of days to cure before camo goes on. Not sure if I'll do black & green or sand & green yet.

Well Tommy asked for it so here's the model in black & green! Started with tamiya XF65 field grey followed by a bit of fading using XF15 flat flesh then once dry the black was hand painted using vallejo dark rubber & black. This will get some fading later with an airbrush. Then because I can't help myself I've started on some detail painting.
