    Cant beleive its been such a long time since starting this model and my last post here Lockdown has given time to do some more work on this model. So here are the latest pics the tail has mow been fitted not too much filling and sanding to get it to look half decent A small amount of photoetched parts were supplied with the kit so have fitted them

    A couple of more updates The missicle crriages are built and installed Below you can see the fitting issues with the wings...both were as bad Built the Paweway bombs that came with the kit They really are pants, so bit the bullet and have invested in Eduard Brassins resin set. Just waiting for them to arrive along with the paint masks You can see below that the entire wing lengths needed filling. Not shown was that there were gaps in the leading edges of one of the wings that also needed some filling. (These are not th Eduard bombs) Off on my hollies for a week, so more when I get back

    I got a bit of a head start before deciding I was going to do this blog, so here are some pictures of the finished seat and cockpit A couple of PE buckles and some masking tape were used to finish the seat belts off The rest of the cockpit is straight out of the box, switches panels painted dark grey then dry brushed with light grey, the displays were painted in transparent green then a coat of Johnsons clear And finally with the seat in place A dark oil wash was used in cockpit before a final matt finish was applied

    Well here goes guys and gals. This is my first build blog, so not sure how well it is going to go I have a severe sight impairment, so I am not professing to be a master builder by any means, but i thought I would give it a try I am attempting the Monogram Pro Modeller f-117A Nighthavk kit which has been sat on my shelf for a year or so now I believe there are still a few of the kits about on ebay So here goes......
