Hey Greg,
  No way ! But I am gonna paint the windows ! I got them from my local hobby shop, they're White Ensign resin jobs w/ PE details. They're almost 8 British Pounds for three, but they'yr too cool !

I assume you wil be detailing the powerpant.  If not It's just another chunk of plastic....

:D  
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Captain Canada

I'm actually gonna super-detail it...by attempting to drill out the exhausts !]


:P

Also, the nose looks rather longish, like all the newer Lynx'. I'd like to find some good refs and try to file it down a little.

A thought just struck me.  That thought was; "damn....that's a big bottle of beer..."
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Captain Canada

I wish !

I've only got 4 or five in house....so I'm holding off having my first. But, if the bottle was that big.........

;)

I just put a coat of primer on them, and they looked alot better before that ! Lots of dimples and mold lines......hard to get rid of as it's so easy to shave off the details.

:wacko:

QuoteUp on the flight deck of the Air Defence Corvette HMCS Chignecto.........



The pic doesn't do it justice........with the macro setting on the camera, you get too much detail. She actually looks really good in real life !

Just add the 'No Step', 'Rescue', and other stencilling, some 'Remove before flight' tags, and she'll be looking like a winner!  ;)
