Hi everybody!  Since the last time I've posted pictures, my A4P has been growing and growing and I have almost finished the job, here you can see some pictures of the model on the last paint stage....... the weathering, but I have not completed it yet, I just need to paint some scratches on alluminiun, the flags, and the cockpit.

Then, I have to build the gear doors, and some extra details.

The model  is 82cm including the refueling probe, and the last thing to do will be both fuel tanks (should I do them? ).

Thanks to everybody, and feel free to write  me or ask any questions.

Thanks Steve for the page!

The model weighs almost 3kg, and most part of it is just only  plastic and some putty.  The models has been painted with Humbrol color, over an acrylic water based.
