The replacement aerial mast was stuck in place and painted.


Image

I also added a fishing line aerial cable. I'm not entirely happy with this - it looks a bit stiff to me. (As the actress said to the bishop) :grin:


Image

The pitot tube also fell off, and was stuck back on again. I think I'm at the point where I don't want to push my luck with this build any more. Ideally, I would have added the diagonal aerial cable as well, but I can just see disaster looming if I try.


Image


So I think we'll officially declare this one

Finished

I'll try to get some better pictures in natural sunlight in due course. Owing to a bad attack of sciatica :roll: that might be a while, I can only do modelling for a few minutes at a time.
