All welcomed and tanks for the support. This is my first model since the pandemic, when I put all the modelling stuff in the loft to get an office. It's meant to be a quick build to ease me back into the hobby, but I'm loving it!

Cool! Been eyeing this kit for a while, so this will likely be a good one to get you going again 👍

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I was doing so well thanks to being stuck at home with COVID, but my strike finished yesterday when I accidentally over-sprayed the rotor and had a Mr Bean moment trying to clean it up.... I am re-painting the rotor today and working on other projects, but I hopefully I will resume the build tomorrow.

I've r realized only today that I have put the wings back to front! What a shame. At this stage I have decided to move on and learn the lesson.

Thanks for the encouragement all the way, I feel really motivated for the next project. Hopefully I'll put the wings on the right direction.

I'm sure it has happened... It's a mistake easily done! I think I glued the wings the same day that I put orange juice in the cafetiere.... No more modelling before I'm full on caffeine!

Joshua, thanks. I used Vallejo model air 71.114. Vallejo recommends this colour for fs35237, but it look to me too blue, so I toned down the colour work light grey.

Ah its fantastic! I love the more "Aqua Blue" verse a more vibrant blue to be honest
What was the Ratio you used? 90/10?

Thanks everyone!
Joshua, I I used 3 parts of 71.114,, medium grey , to one of 71.046,. Pale grey blue rml 76. I used the pale grey blue for the underside. I'm no expert in the subject, it looks ok to me compared with photos.
