Thanks for looking. I also thought today was the last day. We need big bold banners!

Nice little kit with a few biffs here and there and I couldn't do it proper justice in 24 hours. Then I snapped off the end of the refuelling probe as I was taking the finished pictures. It will no doubt turn up. Annoying.

Shape wise I think this kit looks spot on. The plastic is too soft for its own good and you can put deep scratches in there very easily with normal sanding of the joints, some of which aren't so good but there's nothing terribly challenging. The main undercarriage has a very weird pin-toed appearance and I know I'm not the only person to have built one of these to have noticed this. You could sort it out but this was not the time or place. You could really go to town in the cockpit too if you felt like it. Not a bad alternative to the Fujimi kits for a lot less money and you can pick them up with much less difficulty. Oh and with a little care and proper painting

THE NEW TOOL PANEL LINES LOOK PERFECTLY FINE

just in case there was any more controversy about that.

That's it for me, I'm blitzed out and have done a typical year's output in a month. I'm off to check out fishing, the forgotten bloodsport. Or so The Tall Vegetarian Wife says. She's not from Manchester. But she did live there. She gets last dibs on the music, as ever.

Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?

Very nice. Again you've managed to build something in a blitz that looks better than something that I would take weeks over :grin:
