Extra dark sea grey on. Not much more to be done today as I'm going Vulcan hunting.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Toby's toxic pond dweller.
Nose now on and I'd painted it separately for crisper delineation from the fuselage but it's proud on the top so will have to fill and sand and repaint the whole area front of the canopy which will be a bit if a bugger.

Re: Toby's toxic pond dweller.
The filling and sanding of the nose and area ahead of the canopy went better than expected and as did my free hand cutting of the masking.
Will wonders never cease.
Now it's time for the decals.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Toby's toxic pond dweller.
All done. Very enjoyable build with few issues. getting the canopy to fit flush needed the pilots seat to be cut down slightly but such is the thickness of the plastic it doesn't really matter.
