so far , I primed the inside , then a light buff coat followed by a thinned khaki with an old rush to replicate plywood , the seats are black with a touch of red/brown to simulate worn leather. I would not paint the fuel tank next time as it cannot be seen when the top is added , cheers ian

today , build up ,the sides and top sections need extra care when applying glue as the edges are very thin . As can be seen not much of the inside is visable when the top sections are added . more photos soon cheers ian

hi , nearly at the end of the build . Points to note the ski supports are fragile and need to dry out before putting the other side on . The rear prop blade guards are very fragile and the glue point is tiny to say the least again take your time cheers ian

hi all , the last chapter , weathering it . I ended up using the old and tried method of flicking a wash of several colours in the direction of travel with and old tatty toothbrush . The secret is to keep the same distance from the model so you very nearly end up with similar splatter of mud and other colours . cheers ian

This is the other side , the hard part was threading the field pack straps over the bars without breaking them , cheers ian
