So close now, it might be a squeeze but only the painting, decals and undercarriage to do and we're done.....

Looking good with some colour on, we all seem to be at a similar stage with our three builds.

Thanks. The green appears very light with the second coat, I'll have to check I've not used the lighter green meant for the Bf 109 I'm doing rather than 116!!. Let's see if we can do a triple finish!!. :grin:

That looks Great, really glad to see that all that work has paid off.

I suppose it helps working with such a clean, tidy and well-organized desk ;-) ?

Regards,

Steve

It certainly does. Only a problem when I need a tool at the bottom of a collection of objects and then have to spend ten minutes picking everything up!!. I actually have a small ritual of tidying up the work space when each build is done but it doesn't last long!!. :lol: :lol:
Here is the Battle as of yesterday. Black undersides have a first coat. I did use the wrong green, Humbrol 75 rather than 116 so that got repainted yesterday.

Thanks chaps. Did enjoy this one despite the extra work I decided to do!. Looks good to me and no seams or lines where the additions are!!. Might have to scribe in some proper flap lines later but it will do very nicely for now. :grin:
