The model is now complete enough to be painted once the glue has dried.

The basic colour scheme is now on and the final uppersurface coat went down this morning. I will give it a little longer to dry before applying the decals.

The decals are now in place and the final parts are painted and ready to be fitted, the matt varnish will be applied in a little while before final assembly.
