Thanks gents - greatly appreciated.

Engine and cockpit assemblies are joined together. Added some fuel lines and a rod from the throttle. Not accurate, but fills the void and will be hard to see when the cowling is on....

Wasn't that happy with the kit's rendering of the 250 round Parabellum drums. Aside from the 'rounds' being very thinly moulded, they actually sit outside the circumfernace of the outer discs - every photo I've seen see them sitting inside. After some initial head scratching, I used the photoetch circular discs from an Eduard Parabellum set and used an ammo belt I had left over from a A7V tank build. Still need to make up the second drum...

Dave - I do have some AM Spandaus, but the cooling jackets seem way too 'heavy' so will stick with the kit PE.

Thanks Philipp.

Adam. Tamiya Flat Flesh as the base colour followed by a clear coat. I then use oil paint which is dragged across the surface with a sponge until the desired affect is acheived. Once dry, I give it a coat of Tamiya Clear Yellow.

I'm using fast dryng oils this time - dry within 24hrs (usually quicker with such thin coats). Colours depend on wood I'm trying to imitate so base colour can vary as can oils. I can also use clear orange over the top for darker wood.


Paint and decals....

Long way to go, but happy with progress.
