Since I'm re-rolling at NZCG, there's quite a bit of down-time before the I can stuck-in to my new job. So whilst I've got some time to m'self, I can spend more time playing with bits of plastic AND doing the chores !!.
Today's progress is all about gettin' it all together.
The only AM in the 'pit, Eduards pre-painted belts (all tightening straps & buckles individually threaded).
The pit itself isn't exceptionally detailed, but looks busy enough - I made my own 'Dull Dark Green' for the interior with Tamiya's Deep Green and around 25% Dark Blue.
More in a min'....

As I'm writing this, the fuselage is filled, sanded, polished and rescribed where needed. My start point tomorrow is here:
Wings are all sanded-down and polished the wing/fuselage join will need filling etc in the morning, but given it's a very easy joint, it won't be any sort of problem, I hope. Because this is going to be a NMF machine, I'm using Squadron fine 'White Stuff' instead of the usual course 'Green Stuff'.
Stay tuned, folks, more tomorrow I hope.

Some more progress:
Main construction all done, filled, sanded and polished. Wings & fin masked ready for stripes - and you will NEVER see my bench this messy ever again. Hate working like this, I'm really 'anal' about keeping the work-area as tidy as possible.
Stripes done, ready for base-coat. Going to try AK's enamel black base coat for the first time instead of my usual Tamiya glossy black acrylic. Hopefully I can get that done later today when the sunshine warms the cave a little more.
Stay tuned.
Ian.
