thanks guys much appreciated ,airbrushing the roundels never even crossed my mind wish you had brought that up a couple of weeks ago .The canopy slides open not even sure why i took the photos with it closed.I think what i will do is get christmas out of the way then go back and redress the issues mentioned alsio will stash the comments away for te next build and hopefully see more improvements along the way will try and get some photos of the 3 builds together so i and you can see how much you have helped me in the 4 months i have been part of this very large family .getting a compressor for christmas so that will help a bit too .Once again guys thanks for all your help .next build is a Ju88 for the group build not sure if i will get it started before christmas though
