With the fiddly parts nearly completed, i hope the top hull fittings go quickly so I can move to paint.
Despite years of idly sitting around, the compressor works perfectly and the airbrushes have been sonic bath cleaned.

Like most aspects of this hobby ( especially etch brass ) i am not very experienced with airbrushing so I shall be drawing on the vast wealth of knowlege held by you fine folk on this site. Honestly the level of work i see on these threads is staggering. It makes me smile.

Happiness to you all wherever you are. Local village beer festival this weekend so will raise a glass to you all and The Fantastic Plastic. :D CHEERS.
