Looking great man! Hey, if that primer works, go for it! After all, "maximum utilization of available resources" is a great motto to have.

Main painting done, still need to paint the anti-glare panel:

...alongside the anti-glare panel I'll weather the wheel bay next, just highlights and a wash. As ever thanks for taking the time to look and / or comment.

Wow, what a pristine finish! All I can do is sit here and wonder why I can't do such brilliant work. You truly know what you are doing.

Next, I'll put all the stencils and other 'generic' markings on. Have a great weekend everyone.

Last pics before final assembly and 'final reveal' photo's.

All stencils added, exhaust plume using Tamiya 'Smoke' and cordite stains with Mig pigment. Overall coat of Humbrol 'Satin Cote' (sic) to seal it all in.

Will leave it all now until tomorrow so the varnish coat fully dries, then a simple matter of gluing all the 'sticky-out' bits on and the main canopy. Thanks all for following along with this one, next pics will be the last for this one so stay tuned.

Such an effortless build, not me being boastful, just a nod to the engineering of this kit, simple as that. Thanks folks for following & commenting along the way and as ever, all criticism, questions and comments welcomed. More pics in the 'Completed Builds' thread.

AFN, time to get ready for the 'Nationals.
