          ...and replace with clear plastic to try and replicate window glass.

            Some larger areas on these card models need a bit of thickening to prevent dips in the deck areas.

            Scrap card glued in place.

            Ready to glue in. Note the turned down tabs.

            A closer view of the tabs. One set up, and one set down. all need straightening, Then the hull sides glue on to these.

            Ready for a further set of superstructure to cut and glue into position.

            The hull sides goes on after this.

            Then the fiddly bits start!

            Cheers.

              You really are a glutton for punishment Ron, definitely a greater level of patience than I'd have.

                Cheers Mick.
                Why I subject myself to these things is beyond me, and yet they have a certain grip on you once you have a go at one.....

                Update...
                The main rear viewing bridge.
                I cut out the card windows and stuck some clear plastic to the inside.

                All a bit wonky just yet, but things stiffen up into place as the build progresses...

                  Looks good Ron. You really must be a masochist to keep coming back to these card kits. When completed they do look very good though.

                    Ron,
                    I don't think I will ever attempt one, but I'm enjoying watching you tackle this.
