Stephen Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Some progress made here, I had some fit problems which required filling/sanding mainly to do with getting the cockpit into the fuselage. The build continues... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Some more progress here with painting completed.The white is Humbrol Acrylic from a can, the medium blue is Tamiya XF-18 Medium Blue lightened with a little white and the dark blue is Tamiya XF-50 Field Blue.The radome is painted with Tamiya XF-25 Deep Green .I've added a little weathering with Tamiya Smoke,hopefully I will put a gloss coat on it tonight for decalling. I was going to use the kit seat but I came across this Pavla one and thought it looked much better. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
