Mighty impressive work!

eager to see this. Yellow can be tough to brush...or spray.

Lol! Nothing too complex - just a couple of thickish coats - thankfully it doesn't need a lot as it's just the L/E.

I'm removed all the masking, just a few touch-ups and then I'll add a gloss coat.

Cheers!

Thanks Lyle! :bow:

Touch-ups done & exhausts painted.

Better make a start on the u/c etc. before I get on with the gloss coat and decals!

Beautiful work Stuart! :shoutout:

What color did you use on the exhausts?

Thanks Gents!

It's actually Vallejo's 'jet exhaust' metallic. It's a bit too bright but I'm going to dull it down a lot with some weathering powders.

U/C built and prop ready for paint.

Gun barrels in place.

The parts breakdown on this kit is stupid - those short gun covers are two parts.... Come on Eduard, why use 1 part when you can use 6!

Cheers!

Well, seeing how that Model Master “Jet Exhaust” is now a thing of the past, I’ll have to look for that Vallejo color. :hmm:
