I'm impressed. Talk about making a silk purse our of a sow's ear.

Some more assembly and painting, props still need to be finished. I had to add a shim behind the prop else it would rub on the cowl

I think I should have lengthened the gear rather than cutting the nose strut down. The nose doors look over size so I might trim them down a tad
Image

And finally some decaling started

I am still working on the slipper tanks when when filled will ned some fairing in and touch up paint. I will leave the rest of the decals until after they go on and are finished. The anti glare panel on the nose will need painting as well

Until I had a minor disaster with the decals after I masked over them to paint the antiglare panel.

Image

I tried to match with paint which did not go well, so Pete at Hawkeye to the rescue with a replacement sheet. These new decals were done on a new printer so the colours for the cheat line are a touch different. I could not just cut a section out to replace the damaged area.

Off with the cheat lines, so some masking tape on the cheatline decals took them off nicely, I also removed one of the wing roundels as I had placed it too far outboard.

The slipper tanks were fitted...

and faired in with PPP which was tidied up and painted.

Masking of the nose after the decal/paint stuff up.
Image

And finally masking off and ready for cheatline decals to go back on.

Outstanding. Those Mach 2 kits are almost impossible to make look good, but you did.
