More progress - decals finished, sealed in with Klear, matt-coated and then some make-up to try and make it look like a war-weary bird that's been pressed into one final service for weapons testing...
The glide bomb in contrast will be left pristine.
Final assembly is near!

Thanks guys!
Anyway, it's finished! This afternoon saw the undercarriage put together, embellished a little with some wires and a representation of the the springs that lock it in the down position. Then it was the turn of the glide bomb to be fitted and a few bits and pieces of detail painting/tidying up. Too late to catch the light for proper photos but these will serve for now.
