More great work on that model. I’ve just watched a thing on YouTube of a guy who has built an exact copy of the filming model. It’s taken 7 years in total. Approximately 5 years doing the research and collecting the 150 vintage kits required for the parts identified as being used on the original. It cost him $20 thousand in total. Was a very interesting
Yeah Mick seen it :) but haven't watched it yet, will get around to it.
 
That would be this video?


I hadn’t noticed all the Panther engine decks behind the rear three round vent thingies on the top of the ship :)

Ok on the rear wing thingy it says to put 3 decals but then you have to add pieces over the top of the decals so how would you go about it, remembering I need to paint! the decals are about 2 of the squares on the wing

Finished for the day :) those small pipes are really difficult to get off the sprue cleanly without breaking them :)

I feel there needs to be a couple of warnings on the box
1) Don't forget to breath
2) don't use Tamiya extra thin quick setting glue (the shock breaks thin pipes)

Give the engine bay cover some paint and this is what I'm happy with :)
