Thanks Mike!
Well, we're in the allergy season in the piedmont and my eyes are not cooperating! Last Thursday's session brought slow changes and additions to the ol' 33, not without a lot of frustration! The instructions are next to useless, what worked better was good reference photos and just plain making stuff fit! I ran out of time, so didn't take any photos along the way, but here's where we are today.
Spare Friuls come in handy!
Sentiment of the week...
Thanks for dropping by, much more to come!

Thanks guys! B)
More progress today after a really slow start. Added some brass to the fender supports.
In looking through reference photos, I found this field installed stowage rack and decided to gin one up.
I dug around in the scratch building box and found this HO scale hand rail I had bought 8-9 years ago for another project and thought it might work OK. I added a couple struts and glued it up.
More boxes!
Damn! It's after 4! Where did the day go???
Thanks for coming by! :drinks

Thank you, my friends! I'm glad you like the beast. I primed the entire hull with a couple of coats of Tamiya Gray primer and let it dry for several days. Next up came a light coat of Tamiya Flat Brown XF-10 to enhance the shadows. No photos were taken, oops. This morning, I shot a couple light coats of Tamiya Dark Yellow XF-60, not covering everything on purpose. I lightened the mix with a few drops of Tamiya Buff XF-57 and sprayed the centers of panels and parts.
More to come, still have to figure out a camo scheme. :idonno Thanks for dropping in!
