🙂 I have one month to finish this bird (yeah, there is little panic). However, the "worst" job is already done and now it will be easy job, because the kit is beautiful and everything is fitting together like LEGO. It is the best kit I have ever held in my hands - including Avenger from ACCM...
I am looking forward to painting this jewel - this would be first RAF classic in my collection.

I made big progress since last post. I have already painted Ocean gray on top surface today, but I have not taken pictures yet, but it is a bomb! I am so excited...

Here you can see how I did paint all insignia - I started with duck egg green, white was the next one, then red circles -> blue around and then again white under the yellow to hide dark blue. It was a lot of colors changes in the airbrush...

At this moment, I have masked Ocean gray fields... it tooked two hours of masking... I want to apply Dark green on top still this evening, because I want to see it tomorrow and take new pictures to show you... Stay tuned! 🙂

voilá, here we are! It looks almost finished, but we know there is still a bit of work to close this chapter.
However, everything is nice so far.
