Just a coat of dull coat and I think I'll call this one done.

Was going to weather her up a bit more but I actually like the clean look, I can always come back later if I change my mind.

Some lessons learned, and I still want to get a Tamiya Mosquito to apply what I've learned on this one. Not a bad build for the price I paid.

Update: I just realized I still have to put the wingtip lights on!

Great work stuart, have to agree about the matt coat too, it would really finish it off (avoiding the canopy of course)

Agreed with all about the matt coat, got the wingtip lights on, I might try a bit more weathering around the engine exhausts as well....
