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

Rene ScheiblichWow. 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 🙂

Gordon SørensenNice 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!

Ricardo ReisThanks 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.

Ricardo ReisThank you. Hope I get a few more hour of bench time next week - mottling, highlighs and shades to follow

Ricardo ReisApplied 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

Łukasz GlińskiFingers 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 ReisYes. I'm sure it'll be just fine - the area is small, I'll sand it a bit and paint it.
