Jaw-droppingly, head-slappingly wonderful!!! :thumbsup: You should be very proud of this work; it really captures the elegant poise and sleekness of the subject.

Thank you. Nothing succeeds like success. I like your exhortation. Really good society here. Thank`s so much.

Plaster is a great medium

:cheers:OH!!! Plaster!!! I`m even forgot this word, of course, plaster! A plaster too looks like the scale model of plaster:D(Joke). And similarly I need to polish this surface...with .2mm sanding paper I think

When you have the sanding finished, will you coat it with something like varnish or future, to get a smooth surface for painting. 

Or do you think you will coat it with plastic sheet?

Andrie, do you have more accounts of building kits on this site, so I can look at them?

Thanks.

I will coat it with primer (interior common type) and do painting.

One more step of my WIP here. This is a ship outboard safety (catcher) screen making (4 pieces) and then installation. And also, preparation for the coating of the finish surfacer is in progress.

@Ozzyman69,

 

that rampy thing on the front of the flight deck is called a "bridle catcher". The Viggie used a bridle for catapult launching, and the bridle ends continued forward and down as the aircraft flew away, catching on the ramp so it could be reused when the shuttle stopped at the forward end of the catapult run. 

 

Yours is much too large for the scale. Picture: https://goo.gl/images/yPDCzk

Model is looking great!

That looks great and somewhat very realistic.:goodjob::goodjob:

Thus it is necessary to do some additions yet (bridle catcher screen, weathering...)
