That looks a very fine finish.

Thanks. The white is very white so will need to soften it up where it meets the blue though and then I'll weather it into oblivion

Lovely job so far Toby. The paint finish is very nice indeed

Thanks. I've got a bit of a move on today after a couple of days of stagnation. Edges softened.

Excellent feathering on the edges. Is it just airbrushed freehand? It's a very elegant looking airframe, isn't it?

Lovely soft demarcation line!

Yes it was free hand air brushing. Something about those small twin engined planes from Lockheed and Beech that are very appealing

First decals go on

Tbh I'm getting a bit bored with it. I don't think things with more than one engine are really my forté

C'mon Toby, chin up! You're on the home straight now and there's light at the end of the tunnel

Look at it this way; if single engines are more your thing, this counts as two finishes but with only one fuselage

I suppose you may be right. In that case a P38 would really confuse me

Yes, keep going, it's looking brilliant

Spurred on by my peers I have now finished the decalling.

The Ventura is looking excellent Toby, so near to being complete too, stick at it

I feel like having a crack at one of the Hudsons in my stash now.

Regards

Tom

Aaaaaaaarrrrggghh!
Just realised I've put the exhausts on the wrong way round.

Sorted. Unfortunately the pictures have highlighted some of the fit issues I hoped wouldn't be too obvious. Weathering to the rescue
