Not hiding, I am one of the few that has work to do during this time, working from home keeps me on the toes. Though I am able to quickly spray same paint on parts on the lunch break which I could not do at work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 While I have down some more, I am loosing interest in these builds and most likely will not finish in time. Ā Plus I have been painting bathrooms this weekend 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 You've made great progress with these and this one in particular looks almost ready for the display cabinet Ray. Hopefully the extra week will give you a chance to find motivation for finishing this one at least if not both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā That extension was organised by stealth it seems, usually a question goes out to the masses.Ā Ā Never mind, I am very happy with that.

Ā Cheers, Ā AaCee Yes, it went together quite quickly, the smaller parts need a bit of clean up but otherwise it is a nice build, I have another boxing of this kit to do as the USAF version and then a straight civil version which should be a quicker build not having to worry about all those extra antennas.
