Massive armour plates and massive rivets. Sounds like something even early Airfix could get spot-on.

Sorry Smethwick - Missed the start of yours. Bit busy trying to get mine finished.
Breakfast looks good. Now that I have completed my Blitz I may have to raid the fridge for bacon.
Have fun!

I missed the start of this as I got up late. It's coming along well.

The bacon sarnie looked tasty too.
