A small update, not a lot of progress. Painted the engine, the instructions say to use steel colour, I've not got steel so l used flat aluminium, with a citadel armour wash the other parts are dark iron. also made a mask for the canopy and painted the framework cockpit green first followed by sea blue I'm happy how it's turned out 😉 thanks for watching and the likes. Cheers

Thank you Denis antenna duly cut off while filler applied, dried and sanded, some minor rivet detail lost, I will try to replicate them with tiny dots of CA. The antenna was glued back. As I was sanding the filler, the wing hinges snapped, (the kit plastic is quite soft) and the outer wing sections fell off.🤨🥺 the uppermost part was carefully removed and the hinge stub drilled and a brass pin inserted and glued, a corresponding hole was done in the other part the pin pushed through and bent over and again glued. Hopefully this will give it a bit of sturdiness. Thanks all for looking in etc... Cheers

Although I have not got anywhere near doing these details yet, I have to agree with the previous comments and say go for the 10 and not going simple. For myself I'm thoroughly enjoying the challenge of Winnie and trying to create a model to be proud of!

The fitting of the seat and rear bulkhead to the rest of the cockpit gave me another small setback! Just as I thought it had all gone far too easy, there was a ping and the joystick went flying out, after a fruitless search, I decided to make one from some wire and a piece of sprue. With the replacement piece fitted, I gave the whole thing a trial run in the fuselage 😰 😊☺I'm calling it a success! The gaps will close up a touch more, and a bit of filler will make good any discrepancies. The wing assembly also fits albeit with a slight gap, but again friend filler will help out. next time it's glue it all together and give the bodywork and coat of primer. Thank you for visiting and commenting, and also for the likes 👍 Cheers

Well the seat belts that have been causing me grief have finally capitulated 😅 as can be seen the lower left belt on the back has no detail on it, this is a homemade replacement because the original part went MIA. It may be quite a while before I dip my toes in P/E again🤪😂 Thanks for all the likes, comments and just calling by. Cheers

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
