Looks good,Chris.
I've done quite a number of flights in BAe's Dove many years ago.
Great Aircraft!

Progress has been slow as the vacform cockpit had to be cut out and masked before fitting which was the hard part as there are few frame lines to guide you, with none whatsoever for the eliptical rear ones so these were best guessed with Maskol. Before the cockpit canopy was fitted the upper white area was primed and sprayed to see how it looked. The wings have been straightened as best as and before the engines were fitted further weight was put in the fairings to try to stop tail-sitting. Pegs have been cut and fixed to the wing roots to help attaching the wings.

Hi Chris,
You never did entry level modelling did you?
Always looking for the next enhancement/detail upgrade...

Nice work, in absenteeism.
Cheers,

A contiunation of blending the vacform canopy in which will require a bit more work. A closer look revealed the canopy fraing is incorrect so this is being masked differently to correct. The wings and taiilplanes have been attached using Gorilla glue gel. It's the first time I've used this and it appears to work well with the resin but needs a bit of help with the white metal undercarriage. The joins are in the process of being blended in.

With the u/c and doors fitted and the white upper touched up and masked it was time to bite the bullet and spray the metallic silver. This is from a rattle can and being a true Yorkshireman cost £2 from Proudfoots. I had doubts at first as it seemed to start pooling but it levelled itself out, so if you do decide to try the product I suggest using light coats to build the finish up.

Silver and white masked and the first of a couple of coats of the blue applied. The observant amongst you will have noticed that the port bulged window is missing. I wasn't happy with the way it was sitting so removed it to replace later. Not the best of photos due to failing light.
