Brilliant Toby, will enjoy watching the build, the Hobbyboss kits make up into very good models.

HobbyBoss kits can help a lack of mojo. Not too many bits to fiddle with but nicely detailed. I'll add some minor cockpit stuff but apart from that it'll be oob.

Time for a quick update. Interior yellow applied and some work on the inside of the cockpit done.

Cockpit finished. I found an IP in the spares box. Not sure whether the inside was interior yellow like the rest of the U/C compartments but it's staying like that now.
Just need the Life Color deck blue to be delivered then I can push on.

Paint has finally turned up and realised I had ordered flight deck blue and not deck blue but I've added some deep blue sea into the mix and it's fairly close to deck blue.....I think.

Most painting now done.

I think my mojo is returning. Seems to coincide with the the weather which is fairly pants atm.

Weathering and decalling more or less done.

TobyC · Post by **TobyC** » July 2nd, 2016, 3:53 pm

Into the final stretch. Will be done by tomorrow.

Finished. An enjoyable build with very few issues and it helped get my mojo back. I will post more pics later in the appropriate forum.
