  1. Cheers for the support guys. To improve some structural integrity with fitting the wings, I've added some plasticard to give a better gluing surface. Clear glazing has been fitted although I'm not sure why they made it clear for the three porthole windows but I think it'll work out better. Upper and lower centre sections now glued together. Outer wing sections readied to mate with centre...looking rather futuristic. Stuart
  2. Cockpit details painted. Added seats and control column. Hull sides fixed into place, looking like a couple of boats. The joins all round are not brilliant, so gloop will be used to correct them. The windlass was a little awkward to fit but got there in the end. While the gloop dries, I'll turn my attention to the wings... Stuart
  3. Good work Mike, particularly like the 'snowy' X-Ray Land Rover. Will go and read your build log now... Stuart
  4. The tail and rudder are thin, so thin that I daren't risk it with metal wire. On top of that, the rudder have decals on them and the look over size, so it'll be best to fit decal rudders, cut to size and then fix them... Needed to stop the thinking on interior colour. Decided to go off piste away from the suggested grey and went with a woody colour and gave it dark wash. I decided to go this route due to the cockpit. With aluminium items in the cockpit with a grey interior, it would look a bit monotone, so with a wood interior the details will be more noticeable. Next step is to paint and fit the anchor, its windlass before closing the hulls. Stuart
  5. Decals on... Front view Rear view. Here's my 3D printed commander from Evilbay with its primer coat on. Not exactly the right outfit for Egypt(?) but I'll do something. Stuart
  6. Thanks Ian, much appreciated. Problems forgotten, err...no. It's something that I accept as many of my builds use limited run kits, just shrug and get on with it. Stuart
  7. Very interesting subject and a baptism with fire with that lovely PE mast. Great stuff. Stuart
  8. Bling, bling and more bling. Lovely detail. Stuart
  9. Those detailed parts will certainly add much to a build. Stuart
