Up next on the bench (thanks to G2)...

I have ordered the Eduard fabric seatbelt set, Model Master MG 15 barrels and Montex canopy and insignia masks (because I ain't hand cutting masks for this one)

I'm thinking of making my own decals for the instrument dials (unfortunately Revell didn't think to include them on their decal sheet) and wooden floor section because I think it will look more authentic than if I was to try and paint it.

Will have to scratch build a couple of the levers due to the kit parts being deformed. Have created some wood panel decals and will draw up the instrument dials soon.

I basically have everything for the interior primed and ready for paint, except for the canopy which still needs to be masked.

I've also created a couple of decals for the wooden floor panel.

Really enjoying this build. It's no shake and bake, but goes together well with plenty of test fitting.

Haven't touched this for over a week. My next decal project is underway, I've been updating products on my new Facebook page and I just haven't been in the mood to build after long hours at work. Last night I decided to crack on with the undercarriage and wingtips. The pieces fit really nicely.

I've always found the massive wheels on these bombers quite comical

Finally got some paint on her! The result of 45 minutes of spraying a base coat of German grey. Next I will apply Tamiya dark grey to add some variation. Although similar to the German grey, I'm hoping the subtle difference will be noticeable.

I might knock up the harnesses next to get them out of the way. That will take a solid few hours. Doing them at once should make it quicker than doing them here and there though.

Really happy with the way these decals have turned out. Instead of airbrushing a grey lighter than the base colour over panels, I'm using AK's Dark Grey Fading oil paint to create variation as you can see in the pic. The leather cushion is Pebeo Van Dyck brown oil.

Spent a couple of hours today painting up the control column
