Thanks guys! Painted the underside yesterday- using Humbrol for the first time. Not sure if the mix was off or what- I am not used to using enamels- but it was a challenge to get a solid coat down. Got to look up the proper ratio of thinner to paint...

Thanks for looking gents--nearly done with the paint work-- but the seam near the tail somehow split so I had to fill with some homemade putty and hopefully sand it down to nothing and retouch the paint...
