Hi Pete
Looks like you are sorting this out nicely. These old, poor kits will always take far more work to get to look OK but think of the value for money aspect. Low cost kit + extra time time = cheapfun/hour :smiling5:

Compliments on those ref photos, and the wood effect on the prop, has the look of real timber.
