This kit is comprised of many parts that I will not be using during this build. The open weapons bay and armament parts will be added to the spare bits box as will all the ground crew figures. I am still undecided about cockpit crew and the Admiral himself. It may come down to how empty the pit looks.

A real nice feature of this kit is then clear parts come pre painted in the appropraite shade of green. There is another complete set of clear parts included should one choose to finish this aircraft in a totally different scheme.

I hope to be able to actually finish this one. I apologize for a few false starts over the past year.

Cheers,

Jeff

Good one Jeff. I really like the looks of those pre-painted clear parts

I left them all in their bags as I don't want to scratch or mark them up at all. Interested to see if they fit real nice or will I have to use some fill and possibly mark the finish.

Went down to the workbench to draw up a list of what I need from the hobby shop. Need to pop out this afternoon and pick up a some paint but that is it. Started spraying all the interior stuff and will have photos later.
This model is quite large in size but there are not a plethora of parts to it when one leaves out the previously mentioned bits. With any luck I can get a good start before heading to Peru next week.

Cheers,

Jeff
