With the tape removed the painted wings and fuselage where sprayed in a gloss clear coat and then a MIG dark earth panel wash applied.
This was wiped off leaving dirt and grime in the panel lines, again another coat of gloss was applied then on to the decals.
Decal numbers and letters were from Xtradecal and the kit RAF roundels were used.
The under wing fuel tanks where built the same way as the aircraft and once the landing gear was built up they aircraft was very close to completion.
