Hi folks,

A few more steps done. Like for the Hispanos, I used resin feeder chutes for the Brownings as well.

Gorgeous work

Love what you have done with the gunbay's! and the camo looks sharp.

[Nikola]

It was a challenge, but luckily I managed to achieve correct positions of green camo and markings.

There is some silvering but I expect the next clear coat to neutralize it.

Also, the roundel on the starboard side was in two parts and the lower part cracked for some reason so I had to repaint certain parts of it.

Some corrections will have to be made in that area.

The kit decals are not that great to be honest.

[digger303]

Good save on the decals your repair is only visible from really close.
Great looking build.

Hi all,

All decals and stencils are done. Flat clear coat on.
All masking tapes removed and exhaust stains initial shape and colour are done.
It was slightly difficult for me to get as close as I wanted with the AB on the inside of the nacelles for the exhaust stains so they will need some more fine tuning.

Next are some pigments, post shading, filters and all that jazz...

There are some areas that need fixing, like always of course...

[cor]

very nice detail you have got going on there

[digger303]

I like what you've done with the exhaust manifold and all the detail painting actually.

[Elve1984]

Love what you done with the detail painting! really impressive!

[Nikola]

Landing gear in place:

Although this seems like a never-ending story, I am almost there...

[digger303]

I don't mind waiting for quality

[Nikola]

Bombs away!

nice weathering on the bombs

[digger303]

I like the tonal variation you have going on.
