Thank you, gentlemen! I'm very humbled by all this praise coming from modellers whose work I've admired immensely. Thank you.
The fuselage is together! At least, the sides are in place with the cockpit between:
After this photo I did a little PSR on the spine to get rid of the seam - more work is required on the belly - and painted on one coat of Humbrol Matt Cote. This weekend the sides will get Gloss Cote followed by decals. I've also rigged the rear section of the fuselage to match one of Jamo's photos - the moulded-on wires just weren't enough for me. I'll try and get a photo of this area to share.
After decals on the fuselage I'm aiming to add the forward decking (already Matt Coted) and horizontal tail.
