Gave it a few coats of 'green for grey green' filter which helped blend the various modulation tones together and give a more green tinge to the colour once this dried I coated with Tamiya X22 to give a gloss shine then once that had dried it got a coat of 'brown wash for green' so it now...- SimonT

already modded it at lunchtime Ron - have chiselled part of my frame to make it look more like it has a frame behind the outer thing. That's as good as it gets - I will try and do better next time :smiling4:- SimonT

I can safely say I have never installed a window in my life so am probably wrong but in that case please explain what this is - I have always thought they were window frames. Have I got the wrong terminology? All the window frames I’ve added to models over the years have been done with angled...- SimonT

the cheek parts were doubled in depth by adding strip and filler to the underside of them this extra material was then sanded back to refine the shape to more closely match the reference photos once offered up to the hull it became clear that the basic shape of the top of the kit part was also...- SimonT
