Thanks very much guys....everything requires a bit of thought, dry fitting and sanding, and repeating of each!
tis a pity this kit has so much to apply, but so much becomes invisible as you add further panels....
..case in point all that stuff on top and to the rear of the engine (even left stuff off!) now won't be seen again.....
We all know its there, and are suitably impressed! I think that's better than someone that is mildly interested, because only other modelers know what truly goes into a work of art such as you make!
You, Sir, are an artist.
Real shame the detail won't be seen - but what a great basis for building one under construction or in deep service or stripped after crashing or being abandoned. Bet there are a number of dioramas being done with this kit.
