That paintwork is to be envied, well done, and on the build itself.

Thanks Michael - I dont think you will be saying that now! I kind of messed up at the last hurdle - I have only to put a few pieces on and thats it. Ill post update in a sec:thumb2:

Thanks Jim!

well, here it is almost finished. No false modesty here - I made a few blunders but it’s all good. Should be able to post this weekend - maybe I can fix a few errors or at least tidy up a bit? Cant wait to move on! That said it has been a tremendous experience - I have a couple more old kits that I pledged to breath some life into before I can start a new one!

Stop knocking yourself, that is a superb job. I would have to think twice before attempting that paint job. As for the blunders, if you do not tell us then we will never know...

:thumb2: hey Michael I appreciate the encouragement - I’m half and half with the paint job finish - Im happy with the pattern but other aspects not so much. I will make a list at end of build to see if anyone has any advice that I can carry over to next builds:nerd:

Thanks Andy! I was on the verge of posting thumbnails only but thought I can’t get any pointers that way!

I thought the whole point of build threads is to show the mistakes you made along the way?

A good but delicate point Jakko - me personally I welcome any points or tips at the end of the build but we are not all built the same (pun intended):smiling5:

I have tried so many different techniques with this build it’s been a bit of an odyssey - I have experienced the whole gamut of emotions from contentment to despair but for me it was all about making it to the finish. This is my icebreaker:nerd:
