1:72, yes I agree. My last build was a 1:48 Javelin, it took forever. 1:72, it could be the future, as long as my eyes hold out.
Right you clever lot. Can you see the problem?

Brilliant, simply brilliant! I wish i had the inspiration patience and eyesight to go to that level of detail!
Colin, you're a craftsman in the art of model building!!

Three things come to mind all concerning operational efficiency
1, with out wheels take off's and landing will be a bit scrapey on the runway!
2., the wheel problem is mostly negated by not having a propeller!
3, this is probably best because the pilot can't see where he's going because you painted out the windscreen!!
Ha!

Is it cause hes missing his eyes ?
Good effort Miko,
Wheels, so last year, they just add weight.
So you can't SEE a propellor
And the pilot can't SEE either.
SEE were we're going here, I missed the aircraft's eyes off, having just applied the satin coat as well.

Can't SEE, Geoff ?
Indeed. A sharks mouth aircraft with no eyes. And I've already put the satin coat on - time for a Homer Simpson - doh.
Easily fixed Colin. If you hadn't have said anything we would never have noticed. Looking very nice indeed.
No, but obvious once you said 
I think I need to get to Specsavers

These 1/72 Eduard kits are usually rather nice. You've made a great job of this. Love the detail in the cockpit. MRP is a superb paint if you can cope with the smell of lacquer. Eyes are a simple fix.
Hellcat is looking great Colin.
Well I pulled my finger out, and finished the Hellcat. Pics will be in the completed thread.
