Thank you kindly. OC. -
A few options there Harry - place the swastika first then the covers and either paint the covers the same colour as the swastika or paint it Grey, as I asume the swastika is a decal - or is it to be masked and painted?. If its a masked painted swastika then I would place the covers first and just paint over them. OC.

I checked that site out for him also Ken. OC.

That is looking Superb my friend - it looks perfectly smooth with level frames. All the best to you and yours for the New Year. OC.

Both arms and the musket are cast as one - the only option would be to pull both arms off and replace with a sabre holding arm and empty arm. OC.

Not sure if these might help - I found them on the net - OC.

This really will look super when its all together - with all the seperate works you have doing - tied in together. OC.

If I was building this kit again using the understanding of the frame problems, I think my work around would start before I even attached the frames to the centre frame, I would probably cut out the farmes then place them together in sequence but with the top inner cut out square and level with each one, then I could compare the lower tapper where they meet the keel, and also compare the frame profiles against each and add some wood to the frames where needed. As long as all the frames on a straight run are level on the keel line, and also the correct faring or angle against each other - then that is a start. OC.

Super finish - Boy do I remember that 1/24 Harrier it was one of the first kits brought for me off my dad when I was a kid - remember the sliding canopy. OC.

I was watching a documetary on Smithsonian about the Battle of Leyte Gulf giving a real insight into how powerful Yamoto was. OC.

Really coming together now, with the figures washes and a bit of dry brushing dust will make a lot of difference. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan. OC

Thank you kindly Edward, it would be a lot less hassle to leave him as he is. Same to you and yours mate. OC.

What I may be able to do is to remove his one piece arms/musket and replace them with a sword/arm and empty arm. OC.

Morning all, hope everyones Holidays are going well (Special thoughts out to my US buddies with the current weather - Stay Safe) So I have been having a think and done lots of internet bashing regarding my diss mounted Cuirassier firing a musket, the trouble is I can not find any evidence to say they actually carried muskets, so If I decide to place him it would be without proof he would have been firing a musket - the lack of cuirass is documented though as there was a shortage of them at Waterloo. OC.
