Got a bit of daylight so I can post some better photos, well slightly better anyway.
The decal on the underside went down really well, I did spend quite some time sorting the seam out beforehand though
The mud is too red brown, what was i thinking. Some light earth will sort that out as will some more splashes

Topside and my box of bits up next for the paint shop

top wing rigged, not sure i'll ever untangle this mess. I used knit in elastic and looped it through the sleeve. I didnt find one method that worked perfectly but the best advice is to split the thread in two for the loopy bits.

Alclad, Mithral silver and a wash did most of the damage here. I may add some brown. fishing line was used for the engine wires.

need to tidy up the leather painting on the straps and combing. Most of the subtle light effects have been toned down by the camera
