Thank you Jabba - Much appreciated Apologies for such a delayed response. I've been on leave and managed to do everything other than any modelling. Hoping to pick up some pace next week to ensure it's complete before the deadline!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Conscious that a deadline is not too far away, I thought I'd crack on with the build. I removed all the tape and to my horror, the glass had been 'eaten' by something (first picture). Not a clue how it happened but needless to say I was a tad miffed (polite version). Anyhow, After an hour with different grades of cloth, the worst is out and the result goes toward the 'Operational' look I'm after (second picture) Feeling quite chuffed with myself, I complete the rotors (dry fitted into the fuselage) and am now on the home straight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Right - Enough with the sticks Modelling time is unfortunately a luxury at present but I have found enough to sort the final bits and bobs; well almost! Just a few lights to paint and attach then she's ready for the gallery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
