Cheers very fellas, appreciate your dropping in.
The paint is Tamiya cockpit green which is number 71, It was used on most British planes during the war

Thanks Ian,
I always thought that color with a shiny gloss coat would look good on a bike or car.

This was the bit that was scaring me the most about the build as I've heard people test fitted and couldn't get it back out and breaking it, but it's all in so tomorrow I can get the engine in  |

Good day in the mancave saw the engine all finished, exhausts in, bottom cover done, all touched up, wings masked and first coat of trainer yellow added. The propeller is all done but no photo, as are all the bits for the wheels and struts and covers  |

Cheers mate A few touch ups to the paint work before a Klear coat tomorrow Had a wee breakage fitting the propeller, one of the engine frame snapped, had to reinforce it behind but you can see it  Camera flash is playing up again, I had to take this photo with no flash again  |

Looks like no flash worked pretty well. It's looking good!
