My last report was at 23.45 and the build was racing along, the fuselage had been joined to the wing and to pass the time as I waited for the glue to properly dry I elected to make a brew and watch an hour of DVD comedy- big mistake! the next thing I knew it was 06.47 and the brew I had made had gone cold hours ago.
however all is not lost as there are hours left and as I type it is 07.53 and the model is ready for paint and decals.

I see what you mean about the underside of the wing tips not being such a good fit. Still, plenty of time. And that's a very nice blue.

Coming on nicely David, and a mid-build nap as well!

The model has now been undercoated in mixed mid-blue, the final colour will be slightly lighter than this shade.

Another great Blitz from you David.

The top coat has been applied, the next step will be to apply the decals.

The decals are in place, when these have settled I can then varnish the airframe.

Very nice.

I love how the simplest colours can really highlight the look of an aeroplane. Blue and silver seem to work best on Spitfires!
