More lockdown dabbling

I shall call this my "Curates Egg"

 A vintage Italeri Mitchell. The "green house" was a pain to mask and as is usual for me ,I went about it the wrong way. I should have fitted and blended the nose into the body before fitting the wings. There is a nasty gap on the joint and any remedial work will result in practically a full strip down.

What can I say about this one? Revell 1955 vintage. An unusual subject that will test any painting skills I may have retained. 

           The barrel has been painted  gunmetal and masked.

   I have some metallics on order and hopefully I can start picking out the detail.

I started to give the '57 Chevy another coat of looking at. To get the head lights to fit ,there was going to be a need for some filling and rubbing down. So Im looking into removing as much "chrome" as I can and going with a semi custom job.
