Thanks Stuart. I'm definitely over the stomach bug I had and my wife..well she still has her good and bad days. The good days seem to outweigh the bad ones now though.

Thomas: It's the lighting. I had to hit the D-Lighting feature on the camera to bring these pics out. I will say that I've never been able to get that "purple" look that I see in so many photos with 66. That's using either MM enamel, the acrylic or Vallejo. :hmm: The detail is actually a little more pronounced and the color a little more true than it shows in these pics. I hear you on the matte finish though.

I'm taking a break from this one today to continue work on my '54 Chevy that I've been working on now for 7 months. Hoping to make some measurable progress on that today.

Take your time! The mojo will come back and you will be able to keep the high quality until the end of this build!

Sorry for the late reply on this one Thomas. I've been throwing a lot of time and energy at the Chevy as of late just trying to get it finished.

You know how it is when you want something finished and it just won't cooperate? That's what's happening with the wagon. It's one thing after another but I'm getting through it. I had an opportunity while paint was drying on that to switch back over to the Arado this morning. Pilots seat is done and installed. I'll be working on the back wall where the battery and other details are and working my way forward after I take care of the nose gear bay on the bottom side of this whole assembly. Here's the progress as of this morning though: ( The seat belts are actually dirtier than they look in the picture-here they look practically brand new....wow)

Don“t worry about not working on a project for some time, mate! I guess this is what we all know too good... I know what I speak of...

The cockpit looks very busy. The main colour is great, not too dark for this scale, just fine. :shoutout:
