Looks great, Des.  It has been fun to watch your progress.  The engine really looks the part sitting in there.

What a nice smooth paint job you have there Des. Not a blemish to be seen. You work magic with an airbrush!

Cheers,

Chris

   Looking spectacular as usual Des. That engine is in a class of it's own and the basic paint job is flawless; another "stunner" emerging from your shop!
Cheers,

Your usual flawless finish, Des!  Can't wait to see the other colors applied.  She's gonna be a stunner.
Cheers,

Thank you all for your very kind comments, I am very humbled.

I have added the cabane struts, the radiator and the engine covers. As can be seen the decals are now fixed the the entire model has had a coat of 50/50 mix of Humbrol Matt Cote and Satin Cote, this gives a nice low sheen finish. The tail is only trial fitted at this stage.

Des,
yours is a very very clean build - will you eventually dirty/weather the airframe, as the photos in WNW's instructions show a rather battered and worn aircraft, or will you leave her nice and shiny, as she is at the moment?

Reagrds,
Stefan

This is shaping up beautifully, Des - but then what else might we expect from you?

Best wishes
