We did expand the timeframe as many builders wanted to do later subjects.

Cheers guys!
Will re-review my options then (and choose the simplest to give myself a chance!)

Well I have the cockpit done up and ready to install. I have enought PE bits and pieces left over I may use on the Airfix number if I decide to do it as well. As far as the Hasegawa kit there are no internals for the inlets, just a vacant hole so I made some ductwork to fill the voids in the wings. I made them out of plastecine and then made a mold and cast them with smooth on casting resin. A bit of cleaning up but they should fit the part.

Another ingenious solution. Now I have to ask, what's "smooth on casting resin"?

It's this stuff. I used it to make wheels and a couple of engines and a few other goodies.

Ah. thanks. I didn't realize that "smooth on" was the brand name. I though it was some kind of brush-applied resin which would have been interesting.

Great idea with the inlets Graham!
I used Shrink tube for one I started a long time ago (before stuffing up the paintwork...)
Nice work on the cockpit too.

Shrink tube is a great idea ! May try that on the Airfix kit if I get to it.

In the "why didn't I think of it dept" after sanding and trying to fit my casting. I tried your idea with the shrink tubing. Fortunately I have tons of it in my box. Works like a hot dam and way less brain pain ! Thanks !
