Ahhh... what a familiar box.

September 12, 2019
Lots of parts to play with.

Let’s start with PE for the cockpit.
4
September 16, 2019
Cockpits sorted out... even though I lost the very first, tiny, little PE bit... grrr...
5
September 17, 2019
All the mini assemblies are ready to go.
6
September 18, 2019
And... we have assembly...
7
September 20, 2019
Wings put together, and more bits to be painted white, all ready to go.
8
September 30, 2019
A bit of black basing... why not?

September 30, 2019
White went on alright, now for some masking.
10
September 30, 2019
Two of three colours in the books... next up is the blue.
11
September 30, 2019
Masked and painted blue... but wait...
12
September 30, 2019
Damn! The seam is still pretty visible. I guess I need to fix it.
13
September 30, 2019
Also looks like I need to blend the edges a bit better. Time for more paint!
14
October 6, 2019
Very carefully added just a tiny bit of putty.
15
October 6, 2019
Repainted blue looks good. Now masked for the aluminium.
16
October 6, 2019
The aluminium along the edges, but there always seems to be a bit of overspray. Needs more touch ups.
17
October 8, 2019
And now for the other... bits.
18
October 9, 2019
The wheels need paint too I guess!
19
October 9, 2019
Undercarriage assembly underway...
20
October 9, 2019
Slight pause while I test a theory... did I really buy 4... no wait 5 Crusader kits?

October 14, 2019
Nose and cockpit painting complete.
22
October 14, 2019
Now to add the canopy.
23
October 20, 2019
Painting complete... and the wash really brings out the panel details.

October 21, 2019
I won't rush the decals... I WON'T RUSH THE DECALS!
