Thanks Gerry! I learnt a long time ago about putty work. started off as a kid of 11 yrs old workin' prep work in an autobody repair shop during the summer. Not to mention doing my own bodywork as I got older & working odd jobs fixin' up houses & such. Just remember this, a little goes a long way...
 
Thanks fellas. I don't have much more I can do at the moment on this So, will have to move onto other projects until my paints come in.
 
Just giving this a bump whilst I await the paints so I can carry on with this. Seems there's a problem with finding the Interior Gray-Green tho. Any suggestions fellas? Russian birds are a bit out of my comfort zone...
 
This is the best guide Ed.

Not sure if you wanted paint advice-- but the Akan line at Linden Hill is pretty impressive for Soviet VVS paints...

What I'm looking for is an alternative for the interior color. which is Interior gray green but, can't seem to find it via online. Not being into building russian stuff, (My main poison is USN a/c) Gess I'm not Clint Eastwood cuz I can't think in russian.... :bang head
 
Managed to pick up a bottle of Testors Acrylic Flat Black Thurs. and finished off the I.P. last night. Will post pics later on. Gonna look it over & see what else I can paint as well... Stay tuned!
