On with part 3...

Progressed slowed to numerous railway commissions anyhow fresh from paint and after some touching up, I painted and fitted the engine exhausts..

I then masked up to do the partial invasion stripes..

Once everything was dry, I gave the Tempest a gloss coat of Tamiya Clear in prep for the decals..

Once this had cured I decaled the underside

.. and put it back in the box due to railway commissions.

Roll on 5 weeks later and recommenced decalling.

While doing the decals I started painting the prop.

Once the decals had dried sufficiently, I sealed them in with a few coats of Tamiya Flat Clear and gave the Tempest a few coats of Vallejo Oil Wash and then removed the masking.

As of today there's a plane and a lot of painted (or partially painted bits)

That's all for now
