Painting progress. Nacelles and wing undersides next.

Looking good, this is the kit that got me back into modelling in the 80's and I still haven't built one, and I have three in the loft, plus a BII conversion kit.

 

Cheers

Thanks Dennis. It's a very nice kit although the cowlings have some difficulties.

Painting, except for some touch up and weathering, done.

Wow the first release was 1975........46 years ago..........and I haven’t built one either...........

Very nice John, your airbrush work is always immaculate, never knew until today that the Mk X or a few of them, had a Martin mid upper turret and the location was completely in a location......

Thank you! I built the 1st release many years ago, so this will be #2.

Thanks Phil. I'll overspray the upper wings with clear gloss before adding the roundels. I prefer to attach decals over a gloss finish to minimize silvering. After all the decals are on I'll spray it with a clear flat then do some exhaust stains and weathering.
