Great progress, and excellent fettling James

Hmm, not quite a sow's ear, but certainly going to be a silk purse!

Charity shops that have model kits? Maybe I should take an Italian vacation someday

It was just a very rare stroke of luck just like the one in 2018 when I found the 1:32 Eduard P40N limited edition for less than 60€, but a vacation in Italy is always a good choice if you are not looking for a model shop. :tongue-out3:

When I visited Rome in 2017, to go to Vigna de Valle Museum, I tried to get a list of model shops there to peruse for oddities not in my collection
Couldn't find them
Twenty years ago, Osaka, on the other hand, had two six floor model shops on opposite sides of a street, plus a Gundam model shop around the corner...

Better google for "model shops + nearest large size town name"; Rome is not Osaka or Shizuoka but some few model shops are still there.

I’ll take your word for it — I’ve spent maybe thirty minutes of my life in Italy (And no, it wasn’t at an airport, as most people think when I say this )

Wonderful improvements on the engine. Even if not totally accurate it certainly looks accurate.

Wow, that is amazing work indeed.

So after a long long long break I have in a week bought a new one of these as spares and basically with the exception of weathering it completed it.

I made the new nose out of a glue bottle top and wooden kebab skewer and the extra detail on the tail gin out of plasticard.

[Ancientmariner]

Few more pics, pre shading doesn’t show very well in the pics and it’s also just been blitzed with Mr Super Clear high gloss for weathering.

[Ancientmariner]

And some in progress….

Still progressing slowly. Somewhat hampered by ordering extras which on eBay state they will be delivered in 3 days and 10 days later still aren’t here.

So gloss varnished and a black/brown mix oil wash applied.
