Getting my head around the lines and rivets....all the fasteners are done and much of the wings...

Hunted down the usual 'walkarounds' ....got most of the notes done ...and various minor details....
Just got to pluck up courage for all those rivets.....;)

Well....the weather set in while I was riveting....but they're all done.
There's one or two more notes to dig up for the wings, but other than that the base layers are pretty much done...;)

Once you have a kit sorted out it's pretty quick to redo paints.....threw a few roundels and such on....;)

Got the specs and alphas just about right.... now to throw a bit of dirt and crud on...;)

...and some bumps....

A little dirt and a bit of fading....

...still using the original [but resized] bumps ....but they need to be redone...;)
 
You know if the kit's coming together OK if you can spit out other paints without too much grief [other than needing to reboot while running FSX and 4 instances of DXTbmp and about 8 of PSP and having too many processes....]

What I do next [other than more tweaks] is to import more of the lower res paints and rework 'em in HD too ...;)
