jonf45 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Hi this went together really nicely until the final piece, the front piece of the canopy, split during masking Managed to get it patched up of sorts and itll have to do! Built OOB as i didnt have any Blackbird spares! As i usually only do smaller jets this was nice to do and has got me seriously thinking about 1:48 or even 1:32.......
