Done a little bit more on the stripes, 2 coats done with probably another 2 more needed. Pantherman Pinky

Think I have caught up a little bit more. Stripes done but need a little bit of touching in. Wheels added and the open canopy door.

Props and decals next after a good coat of varnish. Then the canopy and weathering.

All of the top and side decals are placed. Now I need to do panel lines. After that all of the bottom stencils will be placed.

Bear, completely the opposite but as my OCD gets worse my modeling is improving so silver lining to the storm clouds. Pantherman

Thanks Gary, really enjoy doing the figures but 1/48 is a real pain for detail painting. Pantherman Pinky

Very clever. Pantherman Pinky

Thanks. It almost happened on the other wing. Fortunately I was able to unfurl the decal.

One silly OCD of mine is separating candies into thier color groups like jellybeans, Skittles, m&m, etc.

Christi does this with Skittles.

Added the props, done some touching in, painted the exhausts. Matt varnish next then decals and final touching in before weathering I think. Pantherman Pinky

Just sprayed the old gal in gloss ready for tomorrow's decal session.

Decided to see what I could fInd in our workshop at lunchtime for the base. Managed to "borrow " some floor insulation and ply so we're on the way with the diorama. Pantherman Pinky
