Cheers O_T, the next instalment is below.

The colour division line has been masked up and the tan upper base colour has been sprayed on using Revell 89 Beige.

The brown has been brushed on using thinned Revell 87 Earth Brown and the basic detail painting to the airframe has been applied. With the masking removed the model is now ready for decals and final assembly.

The decals were applied and the model has been matt varnished over, The wheel bays were then painted and the undercarriage and underwing stores have been added to complete the model.

Well done David on a brilliant finish to a poor kit.
