Well, due to the site being down for a day, this means that I have more progress pictures to show off.



This is the underside after a light coat of Humbrol "Metal Cote" Matt Aluminium, which I am happier with. I was much happier after giving the undersides a second coat of that paint.

I have been busy this evening. Three colours have been applied, and the bits of foam that ended up being glued by the paint to the model have been removed. The first paint I used was Colourcoats ACJ05 IJA#21 Midori iro, which I applied around the cockpit in preparation for the canopy being applied. Next up was Tamiya Color X-13 Metallic Blue; this was applied to the undercarriage bays and door insides. Lastly, Humbrol 14, French Blue, which is similar to the blue used on the kit's decal sheet.





If everything goes well, then tomorrow I am glueing on the canopy and touching up the French Blue tail where the aluminium rattle can oversprayed.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....
