I suppose I should update this build, although there is bad news to come...
First off, I build the Aries resin set and installed it into the fuselage. This did require a significant amount of fiddling, sanding and fettling. The resin cockpit it too long for the opening - I think this is because it was designed for the Trumpeter kit. So because of this, I had to loose the gunsight in order to get it to fit. I got it in however:
The kit is a rather simple thing with not a huge number of parts so progress elsewhere was rapid:
and so we get to the tailplanes... can you spot the problem here?
No? Count them... there is only one (and this isn't about Highlander either!) One of our tailplanes it missing! I don't know if this was missing when I got it or I have somehow lost it in the meantime, but its a bit of a bugger. Sadly this discovered just happened to coincide with the "post Telford blues" along with some very annoying shenanigans on another forum the middle of last week so my enthusiasm for completing this has completely evaporated. I could probably scratch build a replacement (lets face it, I've done much more complicated additions in the past), but I just don't feel the urge.
So I'm sorry to say I won't be completing this GB entry :(
