A slight c*!" up with the paint needed some remedial action

With the bomb bay doors in place - the Shack reminds me of a pregnant fish...

Sitting on her undercarriage for the first time - all the fettling to get a good fit pays off ;)

Edit (08/10/2017) decided to add the photo's here (with a couple of Cameo's ;) )

 

8 props, 3 blades per prop and three colours takes a while to paint... oh and transfers to add to them!!

 

Yesterday

4 props down, 4 to go...

 

Today

 

Last four props done and finally done (oh and the props all rotate independently of each other :P )

Oh oh oh, very nice! :)

 

Thanks, it's hard to believe I started this kit in late August...

 

Beautiful model, very well put together. Even a flat where the tyre rests on the ground!

 

Airfix like to do that on their new tool kits, it works better on some than on others, it just a shame that they didn't fully fit out the interior - as the rest area/galley and rear observer areas haven't been done.

Excellent paint job!  Is it matt or is there a slight sheen to it?  Looks very impressive, really like the way the wings fit.

Looking forward to seeing the props fitted!

Satin finish more than matt, saves varnishing for transfers
