Back to the 'Clog'. The wings and booms have been added to the fuselage, this took a lot of sanding and filler to look something like, followed by the elevators, rudders etc. When I came to fit the cockpit canopy I found that the instrument console still prevented it sitting correctly so it was 'gently' removed and sanded down until a good fit was achieved. The canopy was then masked with Tamiya tape and sponge. The area around the turrets had been brush painted RLM 73 Grun just in case I didn't get in correctly when airbrushing. These were then covered in Maskol. The undersides of the fuselage and floats along with the leading edges of the wings and propellers were brush painted Tamiya Dull Aluminium and once dry chipping fluid was applied. RLM (Humbrol) 65 Hellblau was then applied after having been thinned with Mr Color Levelling Thinner 400. I must have got the mix right as for once it didn't clog up the airbrush. Whilst I was away I trawled through the Help postings on here and read the comments re paint and thinners, which were useful, but as I didn't have any Humbrol thinners I resorted to the 400 which did the trick. The propellers and spinners have been brush painted Xtracrylix RLM 70 Scwarzgrun.

Plenty to keep you busy, or is that 'out of trouble'?
Watching with interest.

As advised, things are moving slowly - the usual two things got in the way; life and wife! Anyway I?m now able to spend a bit of time most evenings doing something. My build strategy is always chaotic so I often end up correcting or adjusting as I go.
As you can see I now have the general construction under way and was quite pleased until I put the planks on the wall and checked the scale of them against a 1/72 scale figure. Far too wide, so I had to score each one in situ to make them half as wide. This also means I can take a few off as per my reference picture and it will look more to scale. I will be setting this into a larger piece of ground work so the base will be flush with the floor but that?s some way off yet.
