In my castle....




Well, here goes chaps.....be gentle!


The first thing that I did was to get the wheels off the frame....
Would make a complete *rse of myself not getting weighted wheels, wouldn't I?


After that I started fiddeling with the hinges for the landing gear doors....


Tiny wee f*ckers to bend! One of these I managed to lose, only to find when I had bent another one...





After that it was the radiators turn....

Rear.....


....and front. Lost one of these tiny bits as well, but found it the next day!


Seat was next....


Now I'm trying to get the shape of the fenders right.....easier said than done...
 
Not going well now....$%*"#...photo etch! Think that I'll try another thicker superglue for the plastic/metal....
One of the metal parts split in two's with one disappearing down the carpetmonsters throat. Will be using the armrest parts from the kit with the photo etch seat instead now....
Which is the best superglue for this and does ANYONE sell the shade for the interior...? Using the Tamiya suggested way, I need to mix three to get the right interior color...I'd like to avoid that.
 
Jan try to buy a superglue but in a gel.The kind of the acrylate glue gets drying a little bit longer than the standard Suprglue.
 
You are welcome buddy..For the interior colour I can suggest the RAF interior colour Humbrol158 and its equivalents you can find on IPMS Stockholm site.
