Fair bit done today.

Wing decals went on superbly with a little assistance from Mr Micro Sol and his brother Mr Micro Set.

Just a thin layer of Tamiya Smoke being applied here to tone everything down. Still glossed up from the decals so a nice matt coat up next. Undercarriage being prepped...getting closer to the dreaded rigging..

Excellent work, Ade!  I really like how you have done your version of the turned metal.
Did you follow the Wingnuts painting tips or another way?  Looking forward to the
next updates. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I just (largely) followed WNW tips plus others on here.

It's Alclad Aluminium laquer base coat and the "squggles" are acrylic Silver.

Rigging started this week.

Slight mishap as part A41 was missing so I botched a replacement from spare bits. You can't tell unless it's up close.

Was hoping to finish the upper rigging this weekend, which seemed unlikely as i had run out of Bob's Buckles and only ordered some more yesterday. However, Postie just delivered them!!  cheers Bob!!

I have the E.I pegged on my shortlist of "My First WNW" and this build is a great inspiration. Top work ade, I like your paintwork on the cowl and the rigging looks great.

...and that's about done.

Relatively painless for my first WNW build. Thanks for all the encouragement. Next one ordered and i can only improve.

Well done!
