Scary stuff all those gaps and filling and sanding cockpits looking nice I'm sure the rest will follow.

 

[flyjoe180]

Beating it into shape Peter. Better invest in lots of sandpaper

 

[Guest]

Nice engine detail Peter.


A lot of filling. But compared to another Revell it looks as though it is beatable.


Good start Peter you certainly shoot along with your projects.

[Guest]

Nice start Peter.

 

[colin m]

Moulding the date on the outside of a panel - why did the maker think that was ok ??

 

[Guest]

Ouch! Lots of filling! Nice job anyway. Will be fun to rescribe


Cheers, john

Well i have made a restart only to find that the starboard wing is out of line by nearly 1mm and the port wing has a large gap so big i could hide in and as i am not in the mood for to much work.


So its back in the box until i feel in the right frame of mind to finish it View attachment 114573

Fair enough Peter, you have certainly been busy and this is a very old (1974 stamped on that underside) kit. Look forward to seeing it re-emerge in the future.
