i just dont know how you do it, this is not the biggest bird in the world to start off with yet you fit so much realistic detail in the cockpit it almost seems life size.

I bow to you Sir

Great detailing. Such a lot of work in this one, and at 1/72, too!!

Simply amazing detail, really nice work Tony. I have this kit too in my stash, I think I will leave it a few years now.

Starting to look like an aircraft at last! Wing joints are very good , just a bit of fettling needed around the wing leading edges and the scoop on top of the nose . tony

Looking good Tony. What have you used on the wing roots ? They look nice and smooth with no loss of detail.

I just kept dry fitting and fettling until it was a really tight fit , then just a smear of vallejo fine putty and wiped off with a wet finger. I lost a little of the rivet detail on the fuselage seams but im going to try and re instate it (but i dont know how yet!!) cheers tony

[Guest]

Tony its coming along nicely! Great detail work on the office !

[yak face]

Tailplanes on and ive had a go at re-instating the rivet lines lost on the spine, with vallejo putty and a needle! Next hurdle is masking the cockpit without breaking anything off , i think im going to use the cut off bit of kit canopy and glue it on with Maskol and fill in any gaps with the same , then when paintworks done i can take it off ready for the crash moulded replacement. tony
