Yep, a lot of cleaning up, but hopefully soon some primer

Robert W Martel
wow, never seen anything like that,,,kinda neat !

Bart Goesaert Author
some small progress redefining the plates at the back of the hull...

Now try to make it smooth and add replace some rivets

Bart Goesaert Author
started painting the body, some more sanding to make it smooth will be necessary

Spanjaard
Looking good! I am certainly curious, I am in

Martin Oostrom
Wow. That's some serious paint work 👍

Bart Goesaert Author
thx, still in basic colors but I want to obtain the wasp-like looks, hence the change in the dark plates on the back of the aft body

Bart Goesaert Author
Some progress

Torsten
Is it finished yet? 🙂

Bart Goesaert Author
thx, all parts are ready for assembling, but was thinking about how to display it. My idea was to print/make a section of an airship, attacked by this "wasp" with the pointy end ripping it open... still on my to do list, but time...

Slavo Hazucha
This looks extremely cool! 👍 Joining late, but very much looking forward to the assembly & display - the airship-section plan sounds great - the cockpit (?) looks very nice- do you intend to do some extensive weathering on the outside or should it be "factory new"?

Torsten
Another suggestion, you can combine it with mutant plants and it looks like a view to a microscope?

Bart Goesaert Author
Or completely mangled on a large fly-swatter...

Industria Mechanika makes some really cool sci-fi kits and yours is looking great Bart.
