Thanks guys. Progress will calm down in the next weeks, with the August holidays, but it will pickup after that again. 🙂

Wow. Are there any 262 kits that go easy on the putty supply?😉 nice work! Especially on this smaller scale.
And I agree on the MRP RLM66, very dark stuff. Didnt bother with weathering that much as well 🙂

Nice progress, Ricardo! The build reviews I have seen all mentioned a "questionable" fit of the engine nacelles to the wings. Looks like you have done a great job sorting that out!

Thanks mates, it did take me some time with the putty and sanding sticks, but nothing extremely bad, I should say. Let's see how this progresses now.

Applied the decals today. I should have painted the bands, because the decal gave me a fight and broke in the union on the top - some fixing to do

Good luck, Ricardo. I'm sure that you will can solve it😉

Fingers crossed Ricardo. Had the same issue with my P.7a last week and had to move the fuselage band decal bit backwards (than in original) in order to make its ends meet 🙂

Ricardo Reis
Yes. I'm sure it'll be just fine - the area is small, I'll sand it a bit and paint it.
