I finally finished up the bombs, my next "don't like" item next to decalling! In the end I think they came out OK, I weathered them a bit with RLM79 and a light sand colour, blended with a brush with very little Humbrol thinner on it. After that I added some scratches with a lead pencil. It does not really show in the artificial-light photo, unfortunately. I repainted all 16 bombs (a few didn't fit next to each other so were left off) a few times and got fed up with them. The AD itself was nearly done, but I did not want to finish it, because then surely I would put the bombs in a box and put the AD on the shelf and call here done! (the wheel hubs need a bit of paint added) A few small things to add, but now that the bomb-blockade is out of the way I suppose it'll be done quite soon now. Comments & critique welcome! Jeroen
