After cementing all the bits together these were the only gaps I was left with (some on the underside aswell).

Port wing - fuselage join:

and the starboard join:

These have been fillied with milliput and will be sanded and primed tomorrow.

Just a quicky it's all been primed now (forgot to take a pic) and tomorrow I'll start on the Sky for the undersides, tail and halfway up the fuselage.

I'll post a pic tomorrow of it all primed and one of the Sky if it only takes two coats, but in past experience using a hairy stick it takes three.

Looks like I've mised the deadline again for this GB and I'm determined to break the habit for the rest of the GBs I am going to participate in.

Again not much done really, painted the undercarriage and wheel wells Hu56 (Aluminium) and then have given the undersides 2 coats of Hu90 (Sky). The sky needs another two coats and then I'll have to do the upper portion of the fuselage and the tail aswell.

Should get this finished in under 2 weeks hopefully and there will be pics once all the sky has been painted.

I'm still on with this one. The Hu90 (Sky) has been applied (took 4 coats in the end) and so has the Hu123 (Extra Dark Sea Grey).

Here's pictures after the sky:

I'll put pics of the EDSG when it's dry.

Shouldn't be too long now until it's finished.

I'm not panicing, it's just that I could have got this finished ages ago if I hadn't been so lazy and slightly too obsessed with my Xbox this month (and last month).

Here's a pic of the Hu123 applied:

This only took 3 coats unlike the Hu90.

Today I've applied some Hu56 (Aluminium) to varius bits to represent engine and exhaust bits and touched up the undercarriage.

It's coming on nicely now and the end is definately in sight.

Since my last post a coat of Klear has been applied as have the decals. The canopy is on aswell. I had a little trouble with the canopy but it was my doing. I tried to mask the Canopy using Maskol, but wondered why when I removed a bit when I made a mistake it took the shine of the canopy. After a quick search on here I found that Maskol is ammonia based and was striiping the Klear!!

Anyhow I cleaned up the canopy and decided to paint it freehand so it doesn't look as good as it could have (ps photo shows the good side).
