Ummmmmmm, that's actually grey primer.  The lights are "cool daylight" which adds the blue sheen.
I put more putty on today.

Very nice. Am I wrong or the camo shape is the classic RAF WW2 one?

Given that it's a captured aircraft repainted by RAAF erks, yes.
The real Libyan Clipper was a Ju52 left behind by the retreating nazis.  It was used by 450 Squadron RAAF to transport mail, food supplies and small items from Cairo and back to the front line, doing two or three trips each week.

Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I have a weakness for Italian trimotors.  I've already built an SM-81 and have an SM-79 and a Z.1007 in the stash.

The Airfix SM-79 is the one I'd treat myself to, it's a subject that's intrigued me since I first saw them on the shelves (many, many years ago).  One day, perhaps.

Single or twin fin? Or does the kit supply both options? I prefer the twin fin version but if the kit has the option for either I'd be tempted to make it a triple fin. ;D

Must admit I've a weakness for most things Italian.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
