The grey looks perfect, that's the colour it should be.

Dirk, Jim,

Thanks for your kind comments.

Bruce,

Yep, just about. Canopy is actually on at the moment, gaps filled with white glue, and masked with blu tak. A coat of satin varnish over the rest of the model is now drying.

Details left - landing light (or something) sticking out of the wheel bay, Pitot tube, exhausts, bombs. Nearly there, anyway.

regards,

Martin

I have to agree with Dirk on this one, simply marvellous! Especially that rudder.

Not surprising with all the work you've been putting in on the Boston. Hope it turns out as well as this one.
