Thanks Luiz and Gator. For your kind comments . Much appreciated.
Hi guys ! Just a quick update for tonight.
Some stains and chips on top. I have added some home made brass gun barrels as well as a pitot tube and some position lights .
Finally, attempted to add some exhaust stains based on BF 109G series since they both used the DB 605 engines. That proved to be quite tricky on this dark green.
Hope you enjoy and that you will make some comments .
I'll finish It up as soon as we get back from the beach.

Nice Chris. Looking very good. The thing I use for exhaust is a burnt umber artist chalk. I scrape it of and then use an eye brush (one of those little foam ones). and draw along from front to back. The chalk is heavier at front and peters out as I go. I found this the best representation yet. It also seems to change the hue of the paint around it, darkening it a bit like a heated panel.

Hi James . Thanks for the inputs.
I use the chalks as well the air brush. I think that part om my problems this time was the high gloss from the fluid retarder.
Plus the fact that I used the vallejo Matt instead of the Future/Tamiya mix

Well, just some chit chat to bring you up to speed.
The beach trip is done, our house straightened after the kids/grand kid tornadoes.
Got the anniversary celebration taken care off .
Now it's back to the bench.
Landing gear is in the wells. need some doors and actuators.
Should be able to post pictures tomorrow.

Well, no ! I strongly suspect that the same Gremlin is also responsible for giving me problems with my Flash drive :vmad
Trying to manufacture some doors for the aft gear. Good grief they're small

At long last this one is finished !
I have really fallen in love with these sword kits . A bit pricey compared to Airfix of some other old molds but they are well worth the price if you want a good final result.
Even the landing gear is very well engineered unlike previous molds that got it all wrong.
A bit fiddley but that was mostly due to my fingers.
Just noticed the retract actuators are spotless. Guess I'll trow some grease on them :fencing
Just remember , if you want to build one of these, choose the sword kit. Not this one ( in my opinion)
Hope you enjoy ! Comments welcome .
