Thanks Rick
It’s getting to the fun bit now, and having gotten a complex for building too fast, I’m deliberately trying to slow down the build and really not rush. I think it has helped actually as I spent ages on the masks and tried to make them idiot proof (not easy with me believe me!) and having painted the MRP RAF Dark Green I removed the masks and I had no bleeds/ overspray anywhere! That’s got to be a first. Not a lot of pre shading to be seen tbh, but it’s subtly there.
I think I mentioned before, that I want to make my builds fairly clean looking from now on, as I think this will look better in my new cabinet. So there will be a nod to weathering, but, frankly, not a lot. I’m quite happy with this.
Next up is masking the insignia, if I get no bleeds/ overspray on those - I’ll either wake up or be buying a lottery ticket!
Anyway, having a lot of fun with this, and I can see myself building a lot more Tamiya in the future

It looks a bit stark in the photos, but it does look a lot better in the flesh.
