Yep, I agree John. Our Tony is one top banana when it comes to mods. on 1/72 and smaller.Originally posted by \
Er, by the way John, looking at your avatar, what's happened to you? Perhaps Horlicks and a few early nights would help.....and lay off the fags!!

Well after a nice two week holiday i finally got back in the shed today. The airframe is now painted ready for the detail painting and weathering. I decided to cut the canopy and have it open so with a deep breath took the razor saw to it! I have thinned the edges as it was quite thick and am making the lightened canopy frame bottom from drilled plastic card . more pics as it progresses , cheers tony

Ok peeps, here it is finished. I wasnt 100% happy with the undercarriage doors, maybe with hindsight i should have made some basic hinge/tabs to help with their fitting and location but its not too bad.For a fiver (off e-bay) i really enjoyed this one and certainly got my moneys worth!! and the older kits can sometimes scrub up pretty well with a bit of time spent on them. heres the pics , all comments/criticisms welcome , cheers tony
