I’ve been doing the decals one side at a time, more or less.

And the other side!

Here it is with all the other decalled parts.
I’m not sure what have happened with the skull decal. Part of it is missing and I can’t seem to figure out where it has gone. I even tried lifting the decal a bit so see if it had folded under, but no, not what I could determine.
The only missing decals are those for the lights under the wing. I’ll sort them once all those dried properly.
I’ll also try to sort the missing decal part, by painting by hand.

Soon time for clear cote and final assembly and then some weathering.

I’ve started adding the decals and the underside is done!

I had a little problem with the invasion stripes. I need to touch up with a bit of colour later.
I’m still happy with how it looks. Now I’ll let these decals dry a while, before adding more decals.

After masking I painted the nose yellow.

Then I did some more masking and painted black.

Part of the masking tape was removed.

Then I masked again and painted olive drab.

So how did it turn out with the masking tape removed? I say it turned out bloody nice! 🙂

Now on to the next steps that probably will be clear coting and then decals.

Propeller, bombs and spinner got clear coted.

I started adding different shades of bright metal to different covers.

I think I’ll keep it there, and start painting the nose next.

I sanded the problem areas carefully with fine grade sanding sticks and lastly some polishing.

Then it all got a new cote of aluminium.

Freshly painted, but it still looks like I need another cote of paint.

I finished the pilot and added the mask.

Now I just need to finish the plane so I can put him in place! 🙂

I masked the wheel bays, getting it ready for primer and paint.

Then I used UMP black primer.

There was a few minor problems to take care of. Once that was done I gave it a new cote of black before painting it aluminium.

As can be seen I got a few splats and some other minor crap problems. I’ll sort that once this have dried properly.

The pilot also got some colour.

I still need to paint his face and some other details.
