It's been quite straightforward so far apart from one minor hiccup :shock:

Looking really good Toby, it's a kit I've been attracted to a few times, but never got one.

Taken before the issue with sanding.

Slight problem with me rushing the top coat after sanding some filler. Hopefully can sort it out.

Think I've managed to save most of the problem. The rest you won't see as it's underneath. ;-)
Sadly I think I have made a bit of a pigs ear on the cockpit masking and the glue wasn't cleaned up prior to paining. The joys of doing things late at night I guess sad:

Now for a few coats of gloss and then let decalling commence.

Funnily the colour on the decal instructions say it should be RLM63(light grey) but it actually looks light blue.
I opted for RLM76 which I think is pretty close to the actual colour.

Finally finished in one week. I think that's a record for me.
I'll post more pictures in the aviation section later.
