The cowls in all the pictures I have of the A.E.G are very worn with scratches and missing patches of paint a sign they were removed a lot for repairs and maintenance.
The cowls have been painted aluminum then chipping solution sprayed on before the top coat went on then some serious chipping went on before a coat of matt varnish went on to seal it all. The engines were next mounted into the lower cowl and the side cowls placed on. Once the lower struts were fixed the engines were mounted onto the lower wing using the fuselage struts already fitted to steady the whole
assembly. The exhausts were painted rust and fitted but they need toning down to finish them off properly.
The wings have been undercoated, top coated and are now in the process of being gloss clearcoted.
The forward and rear gun rings have been painted and I have also started on the crew figures by cleaning them up and giving them a coat of white undercoat. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The exhausts have been dirtied up a little more and look better now. The wings have had 2 coats of gloss and the decals have been applied to the lower wings, they will be left to dry and the top wing decals added next. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

The decals are now complete with the adding of the markings to the rudder and the top and bottom wings. Next its a couple of coats of matt varnish to seal it all up.
I have started painting the figures here they are with the base coat done. arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
