Thank you for the favourable comments.
Wings are now attached and it's ready for the first coat of primer.
Quite painless getting the wing join to fuselage just a bit of filling at the rear end of the undersurface join.
Soon be onto the red paint!

I find inter war period aircraft wonderful to look at. The period when they were trying to get away from 'boxes' and rigging and going for graceful lines. This is such a beautiful aircraft.

Now primed in white and ready for the red paint!

It's now RED all over! On with the transfers.

That's a really nice finish, whose paint?

Tamiya gloss red, very easy to get a good finish, 2 coats.

Yes the red looks really good.

The transfers are now on and my fear of them not being opaque are unfounded. Good solid white.
Home run now!

I just tried to apply some to a tank (quite an old kit).
They just fell apart.
Yours look really good.

Are you trying to say Zak that things fall apart when they are old - now I know what is happening to me - hohohoho

Was the red from a rattle can? I have difficulty with that colour (and most others!!)
