    Because the winter here has been quite bitter, and because I work primarily in my garage, not been able to grab a lot bench time. So the Hurri build is progressing a little slower than I hoped.

    Regardless, here's where I'm up to right now (all W&N oils): Panel lines 'inked in' a couple of weeks ago and then sealed with a matt coat. I've now added filters to the camo tones and enhanced the fading between the fabric covered sections and metal sections. Also faded the roundels & fin flash.

    I'll leave it to dry & cure over the weekend then shoot another matt coat before adding streaks and grime etc. (This one is going to look like it's had a hard life).

    Cheers from NZ.
