Very nice updates, the overall look is appealing and makes me tempted to build one of those same oldies.
Looking forward to the completed model.

I absolutely Love this one Brad! It is a great scheme in that it has color but still shows of the woodgrain. Using decals for the ribbon is amazing...I had to rsort to masking and painting! I am looking forward to the next phase!

Thanks for the memories Brad - I so remember buying this model at Woolworths in Sunderland for 2 shillings and sixpence. Great times!

Your work on it looks super.
Cheers,
Gary

Hard to believe that's the old Airfix model!

(11 year old Jeroen would have slapped Humbrol 63 on the fuselage and used his imagination to turn it into wood  :P )

Thanks again all! 

I now have some shading and a wash down:








Pretty happy with the little beastie so far, even if some of the details are not so refined. Speaking of which, I did have to replace the absolutely atrocious guns with some roden guns from the spares box (roden to the rescue again!).

Next the really fun part - actually getting the struts on... no idea how well they fit, but given this is a 60+ year old kit, i'd hazard a guess and say not so well...

Cheers,

BC

Damn, that's beautiful work, Sir!

You're making that old kit the model it always aspired to be.

I didn't know WNW made a 1/72 kit!
At least, it looks like a WNW kit.


Oh, its a Brad kit.  No wonder.

Brad
Whatever sort of wash you used, especially around the metal cowl parts really sets everything else off. That is particularly hard to do in 1/72. You have really dragged an Albatros out of an Airfix bag. Great modeling!
