Thank you for your comments very encouraging.

 

Having been away I have now got back to building this one. I have sprayed the model with a matt varnish and added the U/C plus the underwing pylons. I had a bit of fun with the main wheels as I could not get the flat spot to touch the ground correctly, they would either be up at the front or back. With a bit of swopping I got one side to fit correctly so with the nose wheels fitted I fitted the inner hub to the main U/C leg that I just could not get right after removing the tyre location spigot. I then fitted the tyre, sat the model on the ground, rotated the tyre so that it sat correctly, glued in position and then fitted the outer hub. will hopefully get the canopy painted, and then start to fit the U/C doors, once I have fitted the lights. Not that much to do but it just seems to be taking a long time to do it.

Thank you.

 

I have managed to get some more bits added such as the U/C doors although I did lose the light for the nose U/C leg and the engines. I have also started to add some of the smaller parts from the kit and the update set that I bought, although yet again lost one of the strobe lights, lucky that I have a spare. I did buy a brass pitot probe for the nose, but I think that is meant for another kit so I have stuck with the kit one. Still a few more things to add before I can say that it is done, but it is coming along slowly.

Now all finished, with thanks to all who commented, Dave JL for some parts and decals, Trickyrich for hosting but most of all to Caracal decals for producing the decal sheet.

Great looking model, Jabba! Congrats! :clap2:

 

I still have to finish my super-detailed Italeri MiG-29 project but first I must finish my Dornier Do-24 flying boat for the Flying Boats and Float Planes GB I'm hosting (haven't touched it for a month, I'm afraid...).

 

Cheers
