Heres a few shots of the progress i've made over the last week. The model is totally brush painted and i have been applying thin coats to try and achive a smooth finish. I have used Humbrol Acrylic paints, which are both supposed to be Matt but as you can see the Dark Sea Grey has come out glossy. The instructions state that the sky colour should be satin finish and the DSG is mean't to be matt but I can't see how this should be, surely it would be all matt or all gloss?! Anyway once i've aplied the radiators under the wings it should be ready to get a gloss coat prior to decalling.

Looks really good Gregor. I have brush painted Humbrel flat " back in the day" but never gloss which has to be less forgiving.
Looks like you have it under control.

Thanks for the kind words gents! I'll endeavour to progress this one over the week, and hope to have more shots come Monday. Cheers!

Looks really nice Gregor.
You have done a grand job there, brush painted!

Thanks Al & Simon your encouragement has spurred me on - i'll try and get it finished by next week. Cheers!

Cheers Rick, i'm applying all the stencil decals at the moment before adding the fiddly bits!
