Beautiful work John, it's going to look superb when all done. I sometimes wish my crippled hands would allow me to use PE parts - but I think they'd end up everywhere except where they're supposed to be !
 
Good evening guys, tough month at work but i tried to ''steal'' some time for modelling!! I continued with building some details at the back ''office'', a ramp for the upper radios as the aircraft i am building was a -4E one as well as the 2 small devices for this place, one radio and one radar scope for the APS-4 radar. At the same time i made 4 small bases for the lower raw of the radios. Finally i sprayed some Mr Surfacer 1200 and some color...

The beginning...
