Thanks for the positive comments guys. After stripping the model it's nice to have things work out (so far).

Here's where the build is at today. I've managed to finish most of the painting (all done with Vallejo Model Air - fantastic paint). It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I've tried to sort of pre-shade the panels...I'll have to continue to work on that.

I have some detail painting to do still and a few very small touch ups. I'll start them tomorrow and hope to clear coat on Monday.

Thanks for looking - Comments welcome.

Nice update Jmac!!

Thanks for all of the encouragement guys (Norm, Salvo, Q, Ace, Myke and Eastrock). I really appreciate it.

I've continued to move things ahead slowly (I'm working on the build as a break between renovating a basement bathroom). Right now I've finished up the decals, I think they worked out ok - but I have a lot of room for improvement. It's crazy the number of tiny decals on a 1/72 scale aircraft kit - some moved a bit on me after placing. Oh well - learn from it & better luck next time.

Tonight I hope to do the panel line washes, and first flat coat tomorrow - weathering some time after that. Also I found some details I still have to touch up paint...

Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome.

Looks good so far!!

Thanks guys. ;D

I've got it pretty much done (means time to start/finish some thing else ), I just need to make a stand of some kind. I'll likely do the "three points of contact" type stand again. Pictures as soon as I get the stand finished up.

As everyone already said, excellent work!

I really like the decal applications, and the stripe looks very clean.

Now, let's see some finished photos with that stand
