Into the home stretch:

Paint done, decals done (except stencils), acrylic rod ordered. Next up, engines, RPs and minor fiddly bits.

Incidentally, the decals are VERY thin - be warned!

Getting there..... :roll: Engines on, exhausts on, rocket rails and RPs on:

Working on the props now - I sent Martin my prop blurs and now I can't find the sheet I cut them from! I have the electronic file, so I can print some more, but still.... :ha:

Just needs some weathering and a dull coat and it's done.

Frustratingly, the acrylic rod I ordered early last week hasn't even shipped yet - I hope it arrives before Friday..... :shock: Worst comes to worst, I imagine I'll be able to buy some 4mm or 3/16ths acrylic rod at the show?

And finished!

I found my prop blur sheet, in amongst all the junk in my den - I must have a serious clean-put when I get back from England..... :roll: Please excuse the red drinking straw stand... ;-)
