I feel your pain mate, I've had some fun with a canopy recently

As promissed in my blog, here are some pictures of the finished aircraft















This is a close up of the repair to the undercarriage leg, looks as if the other leg is going to need the same treatment as well  :banghead: :banghead:

I was going through a phase of interest in British WWII fighters and this is the only one that I have completed so far. It only took me two years to get around to taking finished build pictures  :-\

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It's always been an attractive airframe, the Ml I, and you've done it proud  :thumbsup:

So I thought I would add a piece of copper wire to strengthen the other undercarriage leg before it fails. Started looking at the aircraft by turning it around in my hands when I would a white disc on my finger, this is what it was....



Slight panic but knowing that I had some Klear to hand a couple of minutes later. after an application of klear to what had remained on the wing...

A brush with Klear once the red dot was in place and leave to dry and voila!

I just wrote this reply once, but the updated site has yet AGAIN stopped me posting it!  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
