thanks Guys, been frustrated for a number of days, the day after I posted the canopy glossed shot, the canopy went MIA.....spent all last week looking everywhere for it, that it could be, really pi$$ed...Saturday I was resigned to the fact it was gone grabbed another canopy and masked it up...ready to repaint on Sunday.
I went out to the work car Sunday morning to move a carton I had put on the drivers seat to have one last look at the last place it could possibly be and as I leaned over the seat to move the passenger seat forward to check if it had fallen next to or under the seat and I caught a glimpse of yellow tamiya tape..!!!
Inside the seat belt plastic cover, between it and the side of the Drivers seat under the click in section of seat belt was my canopy only partially visible....went back inside the house to grab my tweezers and retrieve my MIA canopy...! wondering how the hell it fell in there...?
Anyways...just for the work...the second canopy...plus the undercarriage painted and in place.

This is Murphy's Law: everything that can go wrong will go wrong... Luckily, it only resulted in a slight delay (it's not a pregnancy). You just have to be in a hurry or short on time for this to happen... Lucky you found it, and what a place you found it... that's the exit from the fourth-stage hole where all your lost pieces end up...

She looks very, very beautiful. Another great model, Wayne. You know, number one fan.

Beauty. I have a bad habit of putting part in other kit boxes and finding them months later. Currently looking for Lancaster instuctions. If I can't find them soon I'll print them off

Glad ya found it Wayne (or a second Kate would have missed it's canopy?). Kit's looking nice

Geo, what Lanc are you making?

 

[fubar57]

Airfix 1:72 B.III. I gave up looking and downloaded the instructions which means I will find them before the day is done

 

[A4K]

Edit: No worries Geo. I have both kits, so could have photographed them

Well the Good thing is the 1/48 kates come with a full canopy and all the sections separate too so youcan each section open.

Anyway thanks for looking in guys.

The 800Kg Bomb is assembled painted, decalled and glossed......!
