Most of the parts are joined up & 70% of the PE has been attached...Lots more to do! This is a quality kit & I'm enjoying it.

The cockpit PE is glued. The tub is primed & painted a medium grey. Now the detail painting before closing the fuselage.

I have got some painting done, now I have to wave a "hairy stick" about to add detail 🙂

Cockpit has been painted & installed with the two fuselage sides brought together.

Rapid progress now, just some fiddly bits to attach then its time to mask off & prime.

All colours applied. I was not worried by the red over-spray as the grey needs another coat anyway.

Looking good so far. As for the overspray I always mask the whole thing before painting, since I am kind of sloppy. So far it has spared me from repainting.
