Looks like some solid progress there Leon! Sorry to hear about the pitot tubes giving you trouble, seems like every build no matter the type always has something that will stick out and snag if you're not careful.

Bill thank you  .Going to put this in a holding pattern until the paints I ordered arrive.I think if I build another wingie all the fiddle bits will go on at the very end.  |

After you're done with this you should tackle it in 1/48th...then it WILL take gallons! That and my B-1B (also in 1/48th). Multiple cans of spray paint waiting for that one. |

Yep, now you know why I like Vallejo! Lucky local shops here stock them pretty well that I can easily drive over there and buy more. They work very well with my airbrush too.
Camo looks great on your giant bird!!! Another coat would seal the look...
