Thank you so much, my friend @fxrob! Merry Christmas to you too!

@fiveten - the Spifire Vb did not have the scissors on the gear oleo. That was a post-war fit on Spitfires.

You're really doing justice to this old turkey.

Thanks for the heads up, my friend @tcinla! Scissors will be removed 👍

You got those scissors removed nicely, Spiros @fiveten

Underside blue on...

Thanks my friend @johnb!

Spiros@fiveten - what brand of middlestone are you using?

Thanks my friends @eb801 and @gblair! For "middle stone", I used a leftover tin of Humbrol enamel, that took ages to stir, as the pigment had practically become hard like stone (middle stone 😄). Let's see where the looks will converge to upon dark earth application.
