lol no probs Paul. Very rare i go into 1/72 scale these days due to my arthritis. Still i am impressed what you've done with this kit dispite it's many faults and lack of detail

 

[PaulTRose]

so since the last sitrep, decals on, a coat of matt varnish overall, masking removed, undercarriage installed (which required a bit of keyhole surgery in the nacelles).......despite packing the nose with loads of ballast its still a tail sitter so had to add a little support under the tail

next is add the radar greeblies and a few bits and bobs and its finished!.......hurrah! cant flippin' wait!

Well you beat that into shape nicely.
In some way I find the ones that put up a bit of a fight always more rewarding when it comes out right!

Hi Paul
Glad you resisted the urge to bin it. Patience and skill has produced a good model.
