Looking very good Michael . Your problem seems to forever be my bane with short run birds and aftermarket cockpits.

Glad to see you finally got it to a positive conclusion

Ha ha , thanks Guys

Trust me this Famo will be finished this year....I hope ha ha :laugh: :laugh:

Ok new year and photos to be displayed
The remaining crew figures are painted in Vallejo acrylics with oil paints used for the hands and faces,placing eyebrows on the figures is a big challenge,sorry, did not do a macro shot to show the level of detail.
The remaining figures have received a coat of Gloss coat in the areas where the shoulder boards and collar tabs are to go .
There are a couple of figures I still have to add hands to but the decals are to be applied first.
Done a bit more work on detailing the engine covers. The front and side sections of the drivers cab have been glued together although not been glued to the chassis.

The positioning of the figures and accessories + further detailing will be required before the cab is finally glued on.





Wishing you all a happy 2016

Michael
