Coming along Allan! I've debated getting one of these kits, just because of the size. I may live vicariously through your build here still...!

A coat of Vallejo matt varnish on the panels then a drop of Future on some of the dials and a coat of MM aluminum metalizer on the bomb bay and wheels !

Thanks Paul, if it comes with decals I usually use them, fuselage together now with other option canopy on loose to protect the interior !

Thanks Louis.

Wings going together with some metalizer on the fans along side, the canopies have a thick edge around the bottom so I've scraped it away and polished it out, the difference can just be seen comparing the two ! and the part of the fuselage you won't see once the wing goes on !
