Just caught up with your build Ced; I admire the effort you're putting into making an old kit look good and that canopy framing is rather splendid.

 

One thing though...

This is a Tele:

(A '70s Custom to be precise (and also the reason I'm not on here very much anymore.))

I love that Tele.

 

I could never justify owning a Tele because I am just to arthritic to play it but when I was a kid my mates would zero in on a Strat or Gibson but for me I always headed straight for a 'caster in Jack Woodroffe's music shop in Brum.

Best canopy a la Ced yet methinks.

 

Clean and very sharp edges, job's a good 'un fellow me lad.

 

Beautifully moulded Ced, you should make more and prepare a merchandising campaign.

Your work on the canopy has certainly made a great difference, well worth the time and effort

 

  Stay safe             Roger

Finally finished the framing on the blisters:

…and the side frames on the front turret:

I need to mask and paint the top frame.

 

Waist gunners are in:

Revell Contacta 'cos it's got 'the tube'!

 

I'll paint the edges of the blisters when they're glued on.

Need to find some supports for the guns, stick 'em in and then we're ready.
