In part one we have a good look at the kit and get the cockpit done and weathered.

In part three, we install the engine and bring the fuselage together,wing area, tail and cockpit and install the intakes with the blow in doors. 

In part four, we finish off all the building work and move on to the spray bay, prime and pre shade ready for the main colours.

In part five, we work on the main airbrushing of the grey camo scheme. Working from lightest to darkest.

In Part six, we move back to the work bench and paint all the gear, wheel wells and get it on it’s gear. Decal and the start weathering with washes.
