Great work!

Starting to look like a plane now, which is always a great point to get to.  That wing/fuselage joint is very neat.  Great progress so far.

And the nose:

In the beginning everything looks great, fitting was flawless.

But then I heard a melody:
"Knock, knock knocking on Murpy's door"

Murphy was here....Or was it my incompetence?

Although everything went well, the left nose piece did not fit properly. There is a half-mm gap left at the bottom. And this caused a half mm elevation difference in the left connection side. I continued unscathed and placed a thin plastic sheet on the part with the level difference, leveling it up and sending Murphy back to where he belonged. I think I can go on like this.

Hi again

Painting started.

First step is lower surfaces.

I have used a combination of Tamiya XF20, XF12 and white.

Hi, 

Some progress on the upper surfaces. I have used Gunze Dark Earth(RAF) with some drops of yellow,white,red and brown to simulate Dupont Dark earth..

"Mother do you think it s the right tone?"

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?

Loooking sharp! The subtle weathering underneath really caught my eye. The dark earth has that same look to it. This is really looking nice! You can have your pudding
