Primer is on.
Painting job using Humbrol enamels. My usual technique is: base green + brown, base green, base green + tan. This gives you a first 3D looking. The second 3D part will be done with washings and drybrushings.

Thanks Don et al,
Here are the external pods containing the Oerlikon 25mm guns and ammo containers. The Yellow tape strips were needed for duplicating the welding seams with Liquid putty (Gunze - Mr. 1000)

Starting the interiors with stirene strips. I've found the the interior ribs are not perforated. Only a couple of them are and are located close the tail

These could be the materials for the nose radar. A custom tooled sphere made of "delrin" (a plastic material) and made by a friend of mine in a workshop. The tubes are samples of woman parfumes. These materials are very very light.
Cheers

Hi mates,seems like Photobucket is not working properly in these days. I'm not able to upload pictures so only one is available for this WIP. HEre is the left sponson witha modified profile and the 2 layers of plasticard in order toproperly match the fuselage solhouette keeping it vertically. The resin sponson has been perforated in order to reduce its weight.

This is the base choosen for this diorama. It is a Verlinden resin base Painted grey (Tamiya primer) and different shades of brown, light grey, tan.
The base received then a light coat of tan-light grey for simulating the a stone pavement. I would simulating a city square. Washings and drybrushings jobs made a nice final effect.
