Decals went on without any issues, then a light oil wash in the panel lines to give depth, then a satin top coat and she's finished!
I used Krystal Klear in the camera ports- although it looks totally transparent in these pictures, it is still a little cloudy in real life, but a much better fit than the awkward (too large?)kit parts.
Pictures are always a little difficult at this time of year - these are indoors under artificial light - better ones next weekend if its sunny!
A couple of better pictures are now in the completion gallery.
The panel lines are a little lighter than I would have wished for some of the panel lines, especially on the fuselage, but otherwise I am really pleased with this one.
Perhaps another is needed, but with folded wings next time.
