Sorry gents but I just noticed that the last bunch of pics I posted were way over-sized. I got myself a new laptop and had to reload Irfanview on it and program my batch routine for converting my cell-phone pics to the files that I store and post. In doing so, I forgot to select the size reduction option but have fixed that now so the below stuff should be back to the usual format.
So here's the work from yesterday. I completed the harnesses by adding the straps on the bottom corners of the pad and threw together something to represent the chain at the front center of the seat.
Next, I painted the gun sight and compass and added those.
Then I glued on the windscreen which fit very well. Unfortunately, the sprue attachment had wiggled loose in the box and crazed the clear part as can be seen below.
I've been brushing some Future on this defect and it seems to have improved things somewhat but I'll wait for the verdict until after I mask and paint the frames.
While preparing for paint, I almost forgot to deal with the nav lights on the wingtips which are just moulded in:
I'll be replacing these with scratch-made clear lenses and so I began by sawing out the notch.
At this point I ran out of steam so I'll deal with the lenses another time. In the meantime, thanks once again for popping in and for the kind comments.
