@Hockeyboy76 have you got this in " Little H's " diary ?

Cheers Pat

You're making good progress with this one, H. What issue have you found with the canopy?
James
Canopy is pinched inward behind front framing, some heating, swearing, stretching, swearing, expanding, swearing and finally more swearing has slightly helped.

Wings joined with fuse, after a little struggle, second engine added, funnily enough there seems to be an issue with the canopy…..

Yesterdays “progress”
The Etch and the resin engine are both for the Academy kit, so much merriment, swearing and bodging was required.

Little h’s Tamiya Dino,

Yesterday Little h got some Tamiya dinosaur kits as presents and a modelling tool kit, once the table was clear she assembled and painted one of them. Today she asked if it could be entered as the Blitzenbuild, unfortunately when she was building yesterday no pictures were taken.
Here’s what she’s done
The train is heading back into the stash.

A little extra 20 mins tinkering and I’m calling this done
Sorry to disappoint the Brotherhood of Pink, but no pink primer was used. Normal Blitzbuilding service will be resumed in the first one of next year. To be fair it’s all been a bit rushed and back to work in the morning.-

Watching with interest H, I think that I have a Revell version of this (it's definitely a small scale X-wing) so it will be good to see how this goes together.
Very easily is the answer good buddy.
Gelukkig Kerstmis Seems appropriate.-

It’s fair to say Little h is not enjoying Vintage Airfix instructions
But she’s cracking on nicely.

Time on 1302 24/12/23
Another Blitzenbuild, Merry Xmas and seasonal greetings to all.
Im going with this as my entry, partly due to the list of jobs still left to do. Apparently this is where Mrs H, Little h and I differ on what is classed as priority
.
19 mins later
Wings almost complete, would have done it quicker but I had the instructions, helpfully printed on the inside of the box upside down.

I did give it a go, I just didn't like it lol
I've seen the u/c needs to be in early and the difficulty that can bring. I guess I'll just have to be careful with the paint. I won't be using any of the paints supplied with the kit, I've got a decent stock of good paint

Shocking
