Ha ! She is at work all day, i am alone and unsupervised untill 22.00 hrs

So i have been working on this kit all day and made very rapid progress.

Tail and rudder attached

Wings on and radiator faces attached and painted

Lower nose pieces fitted, these do not fit well but are on, i may use the long range slipper tank supplied to hide some of this ?

Wing tips fitted, the lugs that inserted into the wings were far too thick to fit, so i cut the off and just glued the tips straight on

Some work done Karl.

Missed this. Good start Karl. Sometimes those attachment points hinder more than help

Moving forward Karl, nice bit of progress when the General is out!

 

[SaparotRob]

It's clearly her fault. It was she who left you in charge.

What time zone, what day? Could be Mr Bill time and none of us know where that is!

Andy, i was toying with actually trying to get paint on today but decided to stop now.

 

[Crimea_River]

I'll follow this with interest. I didn't know that Revell had reboxed the ICM kit. I like 2TAF overwing roundels with the yellow ring.

Revell used the Dragon/DML/Cyber Hobby kit! ICM is all new.
