Not neglecting the Norton bikes. I printed dozens and loose about 3/4 if the print botching them during cleanup. The connectors and parts are just too dekicate. I only need 2 complete and intact prints! Almost there and then ready for primer.

Things are getting lined up. Be it painstakingly slow… My hands are itching to get back to some other builds, but this will be finished first!

Installing the engine bearers. Still fiddling with the nose gun section in order to get the right angle. Almost there.

Back from a short holiday and returned to the bench. Matt coat is on and started adding scratches and blotches. This will take a while. Also added a lighter ocean grey under the slats.

The Matt coat is on and started with the AK weathering pencils. Dryfitting the nose guns, which need some alteration to sit in the proper angle. some warpage on the still to be installed barrel ends, but some boiling water will solve that.

Flaps are on. The can be positioned in any angle. Pretty cool. washes almost done. Then it’s time for a flat coat.

I understand. But if reference is lacking you have to use common sense. This makes sense.

Another thing I was wrestling was this: How would the colour be like UNDER the extended slats? Would the camo pattern stop there? Impossible to find any photographs. The only thing I have to go by is this in game footage of the Warthunder game. You can see the green of the camo stopping there. I will change this on my model.

The colours are maybe better in this light.

So. A few people noticed the red upper roundel was too far inboard. I couldn’t live with it so i stripped the wing. Resprayed the camo and reapplied the roundel. Pfff. Let’s weather the heck out of this thing now!

Somehow the distance between the code and the Bellows Uruguay is way bigger on my model than the reference. At least i fixed the spacing between the two words. I need to get this bird finished or it will end me!

Started the panel line washes. Can’t wait for some matt finish and pencil weathering…

Might as well go all out! Only needed the W/T mask for 10 decal replacements. Bought the 1manarmy mask set for the Spit mk1 for that purpose. I used one mask 10x and it’s still perfect!

Yellow leading edges painted and underwing roundels sprayed. Now i need to source a 1manarmy spitfire or hurricane mask set for the W/T stencils.

Here’s the P7111 in close up. Clearly showing the overpainted older camo scheme with three Bellows text spared out.
