    Transparencies added after some trimming...

    Touch-ups and micro-trimming definitely required in order for them to blend better.
    Thanks for stopping by!

    The transparencies fit nicely, Spiros @fiveten
    The greenish top window, is that done by yourself or was it like that in the box?

    The top windows were painted with green clear paint.

    Looks great, Spiros. Looks like the transparencies went on very nicely. Nice deep tinting with the clear green, darker than most attempts I have made - I get too nervous to apply enough paint sometimes.

    An easy way to tint windows is to pour a little cupful of Future, then pour in the clear color, stir well, then dip the clear part in it, then set it on some tissue edge-on to "wick" the excess. you get a tinted window with no paint marks or any distortions at all.

    Nice work on this model @fiveten. Your tinted windows look fine.

    The windows look great, Spiros @fiveten, being green/brown colour blind would make that job difficult for me. Looking forward to seeing her in Headlines before too long.

    Added the windscreen wipers and pitots (one tube is partially broken and has to be fixed). Also made preparations for the ultra delicate mirrors (as if the rest of the build is not delicate 🙂 ), which will be among the last bits to be affixed. Anyway, here she is, keeping company to my beloved friend's @johnb present...

    Thanks for stopping by!
