Oh, by the way, I realised that the vertical tail was as close to perfectly aligned to the horizontal tail plane as I was able to achieve, it was just that the starboard horizontal tail plane had drooped a couple of mm out of alignment. :banghead:

All fixed now! :thumbsup:

Now, I'm just fixing a couple of minor "slippages" in the bomb bay before I move onto the next stage - which I haven't decided on, yet. Decisions! Decisions! :rolleyes:

Cleaned up the fuselage seam lines last night (a product more of my ham-fistedness than any fault of the kit's).

Tonight I'm re-scribing panel lines on the engine nacelles &, as expected, I have some stuff-ups to fix (one day I'll learn how to keep my scribing tool on the straight-&-narrow ... Maybe. :rolleyes: )

Re-scribing continues slowly.

This means: When I've had enough I walk away to do something else until I feel ready to have another go at it.

Saves further big(gish) stuff-ups.


By the way, I've noticed that I may have been Matchbox's "Phantom Trench Digger" in a previous incarnation. :-\

That's a good policy.  It's one I apply to rigging the Sea Witch.  Trouble is I don't walk back often enough and its taking forever.    :-\

Just spent a decent 90 minutes spraying a whole bunch of parts & bits Tamiya XF-69 NATO Black (standing in for British Interior Black) before I start putting them together (bomb bay, wheel wells, gun turrets, etc.).

There will need to be some work done with various metallics before I get to the construction phase but the black is a good start ... & I feel like I'm making progress. (Which is always a good thing! :thumbsup: )

Certainly is, and I'm not, but I've some reasonable reasons for not doing so.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Some progress is better than none at all so great  ;D
Now I can't wait to see more progress  :wacko:  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Well, I've managed to spray 3 different types of silver onto various small undercarriage & engine intake bits, now I need to fix up some of the black bits. :thumbsup:

And tonight I've managed to mask the silver bits, so I can re-spray the black bits of the landing gear, & I'm going to use a different black, to give a bit of variation to the blacks in the wheel wells.

Speaking of the wheel wells, I've also built them & fitted the nacelles. There's going to be more PSR here than I was hoping for but, hopefully, not too much, plus some re-spraying of the NATO Black on the inside of the wheel wells.

Things seem to be going moderately well, touch wood ... LOTS of wood! :angel:

A lot less PSR than expected! :thumbsup:

Just sprayed some black into the wheel wells & around the Putty-Sand area & there is only a little "r" to finish it off, & that is really only a touch more "s".

After that I need to get the turrets in, & the cockpit glazing on, so I can start the camo. This is a problem as it would be easier to paint the plane without the turrets. However, if I do that, there are parts that need to be fitted after the turrets are in to secure them in place & these, I'm sure, will need a certain amount of PSR to get to fit properly.

Plus all that masking! :blink:

Plus the turrets need a bucket-load of work to get them ready to fit because, of course, I'm modifying them, aren't I. :rolleyes:
