Sorry for the lack of updates - I didn't do anything on it last week due to family stuff, but after a couple of jam sessions at the bench this weekend, I am almost finished. Friday evening saw the Dark Earth sprayed on, and left to set overnight. Early Saturday, I got the blutak sausage masking on, then a couple of coats of Dark Green:

Then a coat of Future yesterday afternoon, followed by decalling last night.....this is like a blitz build....! :shock:

Decals are by Xtradecals, by the way. They go down very nicely indeed. 8-)

Today, I've been working on the fiddly bits, and so far I've added the prop , exhausts and undercarriage:

Currently waiting for those to dry, then I'll add a coat of matt varnish and the clear parts. Almost there.... :roll:
