Thanks Gary and Stephen !
Gary , oh will be using the resin parts on this for sure . The well bays are very open on this so I will add a few details here and there to add a bit more effect but I'm not spending months doing this either . As i get older and still have a healthy stash the details seems important but that is not to say I will stop with the super detailing when it comes to some projects .
Stephen , It is how I'm seeing it with this build , a lot will never be seen again once closed up . As much as I do enjoy detailing , life is also to short to be sweating over the details .
Progress has been made with the painting it up . The interior green is a mix of Tamiya flat green and yellow green . I mix this up in a big tamiya jar so I have lots for a few builds and to be some what consistent with the shade and hue . Reset of the parts are painted by hand using tamiya acrylic and enamel . I just starting using thier enamel paints and I must say , I love them ! Spray beautiful as well as by the hair stick . I started a bit of weathering it needs a wash next and a bit more weathering . Still have to paint the flak padding on the side walls . Photos show this to be either an olive green of a yellowish tan . Not sure which colour to use . The light shade would draw more light into the cockpit ....
