Hi guys, thanks for looking in, and your comments Today's update: both halves of the fuselage are cemented together, and wings, tailfin and undercarriage doors attached. Next is the laborious process of gap filling  . Everyone said because of the age of the kit it's a bit of a 'filler queen' (queue music '.However, Vallejo's Plastic Putty is doing what it says on the tin, so onwards and upwards CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Looking good, there is plenty of rubbing down you have. I also use the Vallejo Plastic Putty, great stuff and sands down very smoothly. Mark

Time for another update. I have to confess i have never used an airbrush before  , so i thought it was about time i gave it a go. Having purchased what i researched to be a reasonable but cheap compressor kit to go with my Badger airbrush (details can be found here: http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=20580 ), i decided to give it a go Two coats of Vellejo Model Colour primer and this is where we are at! Not perfect, i admit, but i'm quite chuffed that i actually did it! I can see how it is easy to get hooked on using an airbrush. So, can you tell what it is yet    CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Thanks for looking in and your comments, guys, always welcome Here is tonight's update. Just finished second coat of white for the underside of the fuselage & Blue Steel. Leaving it to dry overnight, sand down where needed, and then another coat me thinks. CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):
