Good work Chip, the additional cockpit and splitter detail looks good and helps to update the old beastie no end. Hey, why buy the new kit? use the Chip C update method on the old one and save ££££'s and improve your modelling skills to boot! it's a win win

Not to mention the headaches, stress and heartache when it all goes wrong.

Thanks for the photo splash, it gives a better angle than the one I took at Cosford recently:

Still tinkering away at my OOB build.

I have now finished the cockpit:

and completed the splitter. I have also had to scratch build a replacement main undercarriage door which went AWOL. A new light fitting for on top of the nose, and a new radio antennae which was missing from the start. I will try to get pictures up later, but the PC is very slow tonight.

Inspired progress, sir. You'll be finished in no time. It's always relaxing to do a nice oob build . . .

That looks great Chip, miles better than OOB.

Thanks guys.

Here is where she sits at the moment:

I say sits as I forgot to put some nose weight in.

That is why the pilot has ejected early, so I can hopefully get some weight in under is seat. Nothing's ever easy is it?

I have been able to squeeze enough weight into the cockpit to make it sit on it's wheels. Unfortunately the pilot had to be modified slightly:

Progress is coming on at a pace, and I hope the next update will be the finished model.

I am calling this one a finished old Fagot:

Unfortunately my nice, quick OOB build became a scratch builders nightmare. It did, however gee-up my modelling Mojo as all the extra work was quite fun now I look back on it.

Due to the time spent on this I will not be able to tackle the Me 262, as planed, but I am sure I can fit it in somewhere else.

That is a great result and the extra effort you put in really paid off. Top build.

Well done on knocking that old bugger into shape
