Cute little packaging
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/3/7/528537-26441-31-720.jpg)
The details on the sprues are very nice... almost Sweet!
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/5/3/5/528535-26441-79-720.jpg)
Cockpit painted green, fuselage halves glued together and engine/motor drilled out and installed.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/9/0/7/528907-26441-61-720.jpg)
Motor installed.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/0/9/5/536095-26441-74-720.jpg)
Pilot painted and placed in cockpit and some black paint put down.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/0/9/4/536094-26441-40-720.jpg)
Canopy masked and first coat of aluminium applied... it’s pretty shiny, but that won’t really matter.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/5/1/4/537514-26441-78-720.jpg)
Underside painted light green/grey.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/9/6/0/538960-26441-89-720.jpg)
Well it’s green. Of course, due to the hairspray, the tape on the underside took off a big chunk of the light green/grey coat... sigh.

Did I go overboard on the chipping? I always go overboard on the chipping...
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/3/9/9/539399-26441-29-720.jpg)
Now the question is do I paint more? Or add decals? Hmmm...
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/9/1/1/539911-26441-43-720.jpg)
I guess I paint. But first I mask!
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/4/3/540143-26441-81-720.jpg)
Another coat of Future applied... time for the negative mask and some paint.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/1/6/2/540162-26441-89-720.jpg)
Some red dots painted.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/3/8/2/540382-26441-47-720.jpg)
And on the underside.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/8/3/540383-26441-59-720.jpg)
Added some white rings around the side red dots.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/6/3/6/540636-26441-84-720.jpg)
Got the base in place, but I made a bit of a mess of the wing by trying to move a misplaced decal.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/6/3/7/540637-26441-32-720.jpg)
Looks better from this side I think.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/0/7/3/541073-26441-40-720.jpg)
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/0/7/4/541074-26441-94-720.jpg)
Still a bit shiny though, maybe a matte coat would help...
