Hi Zak,
Looking good, are you entering your 'blue period' now, and leaving the khaki behind?

Unusual nonetheless.................................

Hi All,

Well finally its over, finished today at last.

Model now done, worst bit of last leg was getting undercarriage doors in place, requiring two pairs of hands to complete.
Sprayed with Vallejo Matt varnish to seal everything then canopy attached last. For pitot tube I used 2 sizes  Albion Alloys hollow aluminium tubing, gave a very neat finish to this part, recommended to all.
Some pictures of finished model attached.

An interesting subject young Zak..................

Glad to see the carpet monster lost out this time. The brass looks pretty good too.

Wow, Oh Wow!!

That is absolutely superb stuff. A showstopper in every sense.

Pity it won't make Northern Model Show, it would have caused a 'stir' there.

Thanks Gents,

Hopefully will get it finished very soon, just need to add all the fiddly bits and a final coat of varnish.

Hi Oli,
A brilliant build from start to finish.
I must say your figure painting skills are very impressive.
Have you ever done 1/48 or 1/35 tanks/figures??

Sadly No..........

Still work to do on it, and work and family commitments( I've got a wedding coming up) means I am not able to finish it in time.
I'd rather take time to finish it rather than trying to rush and spoil it.
It will appear, I promise.

A few pictures to show process of applying Dark Wash to panel lines and 'Oil Paint' filters to break up top surface finish.
Flory Wash is applied allowed to dry and then excess removed by a damp brush/cotton bud.
The Oil Colour Filters are literally small 'dots' of paint applied randomly then drawn back using adry brush/cotton bud. If it goes wrong remove the paint with a damp turpentine loaded brush, allow to air dry then start again. Practice and very small amounts of paint are the key here.
Enjoy!
