Thankyou Ian, luiz, James and Bob,
Well here she is, I started doing some panel lines with Mig dark wash applied with a small 6 hair brush, but found that if I hit the high shine it played havoc with it so I stopped. I may go back and do a bit more, doesn't help having hand shake while trying to do this.
I also had a bit too much light bouncing around those white surfaces.
Here's a tip : with Tamiya's ingenious polly caps to fit the prop, they sometimes don't spin so good, just get a clean toothpick, dip into light oil - sewing machine grade - and apply into the prop shaft hole , the oil lubricates the poly cap and you have a nice free spinning prop.
