Today I have a couple of update piccies with most parts dry fitted. Outriggers have now been `made`. Clear canopy parts are now stuck in place. (Mask ordered as quite frankly I couldn`t be bothered cutting that much tape up and for £4, will save me a bit of stress).

I also scribbed, although not that well, a new flap placement line under the wings by the Jumo`s as the engine placement now overlapes the original ones. Note to self, buy a scribe tool. Filled in what was left of the old line. To be honest, unless you look for it, your not going to notice when the black goes on.

The Jumo joins to the wings are also complete after sanding and the two turrets are now on. Just waiting now for the forementioned mask and some black paint and then the real fun begins.

Ok..., thats weird. Are you stalking me or something... Just spent last night and this morning looking into and dealing with that very issue.

I assure you that I am not stalking you, I just have an untrained engineers eye for something that looks right.

Cheers guys. Frustratingly I`m still waiting for the canopy mask before this heads to the paint shop.

Had a bit of a frustrating wait for the canopy mask, hence the delay, but the paint is now on. Used the old wriggly Blu Tak method, hope you like.

Bleeding hell, that is awsome!!!!

Thanks guys.

Got most of the major componets together now, gave it a gloss coat, decals on and then a matt coat and wash. Still have to fix the out riggers, they just don`t seem to want to stay in place. Just some finishing touches, then the back story and then the finished piccies.

Now that has a certain "menace" about it
