After a week of our youngest son using the craft room as an Office I've managed to progress a bit further. The cockpit is finished and the canopy tacked in place as it will (hopefully) be cut and opened with etch to fit on the frame. Etch has also been used for the scissor links and the DF loop. Undersurfaces are Vallejo RLM76 Lichtblau, sides Mig RLM02 Grau, with uppersurfaces and mottle Vallejo RLM 74 Graugrun and RLM 75 Grauviolett with the latter being Humbrol 246, Chinese product, so it took a while to get it to spray then ages to clean the airbrush. The u/c was then fitted and the locating tabs aren't very positive which resulted in sinking when left to set in the upright position, hence it being sat on blocks to try again.
