in Summary this kit surprised me, i didnt have to use filler once, I used PVA glue to fill in some of the transparency gaps but in some cases the fit was really tight.and when i say tight some of the fits were almost snap fit, ( would make scotsmen appear spendthrifts in comparison they were that tight...LOL). I really enjoyed this build and it didnt cease to amaze me i was sort of expecting to use filler and everything.
yes the kit presented challenges, when i decided to kit the ramp down i didnt figure it would be so difficult to try and glue it on one position, but after it had been dropped it sorta kyboshed my plan and took alot of time for super glue to do its thing.
But the finished result looks the part of a PaveLow III...

Thanks again for looking, it is a testament to this forum that this kit got build at all.....

Nice stuff Pugz. I have the MPC re-incarnation of that kit. Time for a second look.
