That looks Stunning Kevin - really nice work. OC. -
Thank you kindly, it was just a case of being steady and working under good light. OC.

Anyway life must go on - models we all need to build - I continued the restore job on the cockpit - just paintwork even created a few more painted frames - just about finished I think - next job to mask up and spray the fuselage around where the cockpit sits. OC.

Thanks Mark, it will all be down to how careful I can be with the painting and placing of the canopy and final fixing down. OC.

Thank you Kevin, I have a tube of that Revell Contacta Pro glue (the one with the fine needle tube) its very precise and goes down a thin layer, but also a thin layer can also go on to hide any tiny gaps when set - kind of looks like a weld smooth weld seam. OC.

Thanks lou, yep I know Hannants I have brought off them in the past, I will have a go with mine for now - after I have painted it up and test fitted it (what I should have done correctly in the first place) then I will make the decision to go ahead with mine or have a look at Hannants. OC.

Nice thorough work EG, reminds me of a job I used to do over here, we used to get Artics 40ft units (the type with a side curtain as well as two rear doors I use to handball unload them single handed. OC.

Looking good mate. OC. -
I have tried to rescue the canopy, I glued the edge on the inside where the crack started and then worked on the loose section that had fell out, this was glued back in then I did some tidy up, where the crack is visible I will paint a part framework and do the same on the opposing side so they match. Pics show dry fitted still needs painting and fitting. OC.

Guess I can continue the building/painting and decaling till I can get a canopy. OC.

Thanks mate, trouble is there in the US I'm in the UK. OC.

Bit of a set back - tried to tidy up the canopy by using the plastic putty, but no good so I decided to pull the canopy off, I looked over the canopy tried cleaning it up but it cracked, so its now even more no good. Need to check on ebay - what canopies are around. OC.

Looking great denis. OC.

No words really - all the best to you take care. OC. -
Working on the Rudder - dry fitted waiting for primer/paint. OC.
-
More progress - I have applied another coat of Microsol on the wing decs, then let them dry, I then did a bit prep primer on the stabs, then I test fitted them - they are just dry fitted as they slide on to a spar attached to the fuselage on both sides. OC.
-
Thank you for the reply. OC.
-
Next plan of action - I will brush onto the decals another coat of Microsol and leave it to set/dry again - will then do some work on the two rear stabs, they need priming then camo on top and Black lowers, they slide on when done so they can be treated as separate assemblies. OC.

Thank you denis. OC.

Are but - our back door would be gregs front first floor door - he would need to stand on his head on upside down stilts - while jumping down/up down/up and I wouldn't be able to understand him as his speech would be upside down - back to front - very odd. OC.

Good job Greg aint about. OC.

Hi all, just put on the two wingtip nav lights (just see through plastic) then I decided to have a go at the wing decals, I started with a couple of tiny ones under the wing - I put them down using Microset first then after about five minutes after I had wicked away any moisture - I then brushed on some Microsol and left it to dry, then I turned the wing over and placed the rad warning decal - same again Microset placed wicked away the moisture with a cotton bud, then I did the same with the Roundel, after this was placed again with Microset and wicked away - I then waited about ten minutes and brushed on some Microsol. I guess I need to leave this till tomorrow before putting anymore Microsol on if needed? OC.
