OOB kit bashing, as usual I get a feeling, just a feeling mind, that when it arrives and sits on your desk a while being pondered Then gets transferred to the stash for a bit, then piques your interest it will beat mine to the finishing line Just a feeling 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I do like the Belvedere. Tried to persuade 2 short run manufacturers to try one in 1/48. They said no, commercial suicide. Shame. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Oh dear Bill, what were you thinking? Not a great kit to be tinkering with, think mine went in the bin a log time ago. I've pulled up a seat to watch your antics! Colin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Wot? You joined the universe together? Clever... Now one of you folk must know how I can set this up This is the interior I want to imitate long lines about a 1.2mm apart horizontally and verticals about 3mm wide I have been trying to draw these lines in Paint Shop Pro but they refuse to print I would like to draw the basic grid and then add the windows and extra stiffeners under them easily Anyone be kind enough to tell me what I should be doing I would have tried in Photoshop but my version of Win 10 refuses to even see any Adobe products, I have even had to install Xodo to read PDFs getting a trifle exasperated... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
