Hiya Gary, been catching up with your Spit today, must say, she's looking really nice  Pre-shading is just right to my eye, don't worry too much about the colours, these faded and stained quickly in the field. The sun actually came out in the 40's here in the UK! ;D |

Great job, Gary. It doesn't even look like the starting kit, you turned a pig's ear into silk purse |

Hey Boots!!! Thanks man! Got about half the decals on. The decals are crap!!! I might as well be trying to put clear packaging tape on and then micro-sol the crap out of it instead!!!  Anyways, it is what it is...AND IT IS!   I had to shut it down and do some work on tha Chi-Ha to get back to reality!! ;D Update on that too. Gary |

Gary, for a crappy kit, I reckon you have done an absolutely superb job my friend! It looks the bees knees at the mo. I will be looking forward to what this ol' girl looks like when this build wraps up. Great job so far mate! Cheers, Sam |

I'm back! WOW! Despite three coats of paint I still can see your pre-shading job. Well done buddy! Maybe it means you should be building wingy kits for rest of your life. LOL

WOW FELLAS!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments. Ill be honest, it was a pain in the ass filling and sanding the gap in the seams and the decals required ALOT of Micro-sol to lay down and conform to the seams and details but its all paying off and i like the looks of her. Got all decals on except the orange squares that are on the MG barrels on the leading edge of the wings. After i seal them up ill do some washes. Ill post pics after all decals are on and sealed. Thanks again fellas, Gary |
