No pictures today, but spent about three hours last night working on applying decals and detail painting the interior, i also added a wash to half the pieces giving them a little age. I still have a bit more detailing before I start assembling the interior, hopefully I will a few pictures tonight.

The wood graining effect is excellent, will look even better when it's off the sprue.

 

Can see you've been bitten by the WNW bug in a big way. They are just bloody superb kits.

 

Be careful about painting parts to be glued - the fit is so tight that a coat of paint can put the fit out.

Yes, thanks for the advice. I will dry fit and scrape before I glue.

Tiz good advice. The tollarences that Sir Peter makes his kits to is pretty precise, and even a few mil of paint can throw the fit of the entire build off, as Dean mentioned.

I have spent a couple nights detail painting, weathering, and finally...tonight I did the rigging. It took me two solid hours to glue up 26 pieces of floppy, stretchy, noodles. It drove me crazy at times, and I even combined a few swear words for some new combinations that even sailors have not heard before. But alas, I am ready to assemble the cockpit....just not tonight. My eyes need a good rest.

Thank you.

I mixed 9 parts tamiya clear yellow to one part clear red, thinned about 60%, sprayed on a few thin coats.
