I’ve been slow on the updates lately but now it’s finished!
The last major hurdle was finishing the canopy. I tried using Bare Metal foil but it is difficult getting all the thin frames to stay put when handling the canopy. I did a re-start, removing the foil and using the masks I bought with the kit instead. With the masks in place, I painted the frames using MrP “super silver” and it looks decent I think. I checked the fit of the canopy right at the start of the project, widening the fuselage a bit using bits of plastic card, so gluing the canopy using white glue was a breeze!
This isn’t a super-kit and I’m the first to admit that I also could have tried a bit harder harder but it’s finished, it’s a beautiful Bugatti-blue and it looks fast 
. What’s more is that there isn’t anything else in my collection that even remotely looks like this one!
It is difficult to make the model look interesting since it was so aerodynamically clean, there is almost no surface detail. I tried to do a bit of shadows around the few panel lines there is but I’m not really that happy with the result.
Enough complaining, it has now moved to it’s rightful place in the collection!
