And, now, the interior is complete, all parts in & weathering done!

Just have to start putting it all together & filling her up with cargo (which I'm in the process of gathering together & painting).

















The doors to the rear fuselage are a bit (OK, a lot) dodgy, but they won't be that visible once she's closed up & the boarding door is fitted (open).

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I like the variation in the interior green.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Thanks, gent's!  :bow:  :bow:  :bow:

Fred, the paint is pretty-much what the destructions say to do - I just changed the blue to something I felt more appropriate.



PS: The exterior is going to be much cleaner than the interior (marketing, don't ya know).  ;)

The MiniArt box (shown in previous photo's) & the Master Box ... box ... :unsure: ... (not shown) are being retired from this build, as they're a bit too big, but they're being replaced by a selection from the following boxes from the same set;

Airfix/Tamiya/Vallejo/Mr Black Publishing/AK - I yet have to decide which to use, I may even be able to use all of them!  ;)

There are, also, 3 more resin wooden boxes from ResiCast joining the manifest. :thumbsup:

My airbrush compressor has died!  :banghead:

Just ordered a new one (& another airbrush to accompany it).  ;D

So, until they arrive, this build is in a short hiatus - but only a short one, mind!  :thumbsup:

In the meantime, this is where I'm at with the cargo - Only one piece to go (of course it needs painting ... with the airbrush (lower right of the 1st photo));

Now what I want to know is whether the aircraft is carrying that load of kits on an officialy sanctioned flight or whether it's a modern day smugler seeking to dodge the Revenue Protection officer's ? :angel:

Looking good Guy  :thumbsup:
