Managed to find some time to do the masking. I'm so glad I ordered the masks. I had to do the waist gunner windows on my own as i have a different version of the kit than what the masks were intended for. Everything alse matched up though.

Laboring work ain't it Dave.

Glass is attached. Some of the pieces had to be delicately clamped to get a half decent fit. I think it went well. Primer will reveal all.

Awesome masking job Dave, that's gotta be worse than multi part tracks.

Wow, that's a lot of masking, wow. Do you still have hair left on your head? My last three would be gone by now, just sayin.

Moving at a snails pace but it is moving. Interior colour on the canopies followed by the primer and then the upper and lower main colours. In this case Tamiya XF 11 and 12. My interior color had dried up so I just used the next closest green that I had as it won't be too noticeable when finished.

What are people using for clear gloss coats these days. Used to use future but the new klear or whatever it's called these days is hard to find here. Tried vallejo but not happy with it.

Holloway House Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Finish is the one I've heard most people have switched to. There are some YouTube videos showing it in action on kits. It shows up on searches at Canadian Tire and Home Depot.

Alclad Aqua line has worked well for me. I've also tested Bona floor cleaner gloss, stuff looks like Aqua clear coat anyway. Not sure you have it way up north.
Betty looking great, one thing about the Japanese aircraft, they were good looking aircraft.
