Finished the markings today.

Need to tidy up and glaze the cockpit and then add panel lines. ( no rivets though)

not perfect but not too bad if viewed a distance.

Today i have managed to add the few panel lines that the model is having.
then i glazed the cockpit with some acetate sheet.
i need to add the outer glazing bars tomorrow.
then i can seal the fuselage paintwork and add the blue foam nose.

I need to get back onto the wing next week.
i must get the wing joining tubes sorted as this is holding me up now.

Lets have some flying pics too sir.
