A photo of the nearly complete model.
I have the aerial wire to do, gloss the wing tip lights and wait for the pva glue to dry - oh, I need to apply some matt varnish to areas of the undercarriage as well just to get that to look like something approaching acceptable.
The engjneering of the u/c is terrible, it is weak and was very difficult to get firmly in the right position. So a lot of ca was smeered in places it should not be as a result of many failed attempts. … I did get there in the end but it is far from ideal.
This model will not stay on the display shelves for long after taking photos. That’s not only because I am not pleased with the result but the u/c is so weak it won’t last long.
This one is definitely not up to the standard of what I experienced from previous ICM kits, but is far from the worse kit I have had. As I said before, it demonstrates the journey ICM have been on.
I will do a completed thread soon.
