Agree with Evan...!

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Andy!

Thanks again.

I'm at the point where this build is becoming a chore rather than a pleasure so really need to get motivated to go back to the bench. These decals continue to be annoying, again because there is nothing holding them to the surface once the film is removed. In this case, the decals that represent the tape over the gun ports were applied and the film was removed. As soon as I went to spray a clear coat on, the decals blew apart over the holes.

The antenna post on the rudder has been glued on for a second time. I cut off the kit one and glued on a brass one but that got knocked off once already.

Whip antenna and lights added onto the spine:

I'll keep plugging but really want to get past this thing. A few more fiddly things to add and then it will be put on the back of the shelf.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.

 

[Grant Barr]

Great details Andy. Despite your challenges I think this is a great looking model.

 

[A4K]

With Wojtek and Grant.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Have to agree with Wojtek and Grant, so keep plugging Andy.
