  1. Evening all, more work after having a day off - I have been populating the top of the turret, I started with the main sight its comes as a unit with a few parts including the clear styrene, again to shade this I painted the rear of the clear with a few coats of Red, then fitted the doors, the top/doors is just dry fitted until I mask up the glass area. I have also been adding some other fittings to it. OC.
  2. And I have added a wire antenna to the drivers radio I had to drill a small hole in the top of the radio. OC.

  7. Looking great Denis, and with your blog/story I and probably the rest of the guys will pull and extra cozy chair up - to hear it.......... "Who's got the popcorn..........."Mark" OC.
  8. Evening all, I managed a few more hours on this today - I decided it was time to offer the lower and upper hulls together and glue in place, there seems to be a slight moulding error as the lower is slightly thinner than the upper, so I worked from the front hull first getting glacier plate lined up and glued, then I worked my way towards the rear and the engine bay, again a few slight errors of lining up so it was trial and error till I reached a good half way stage. On the one side above were the skirts will be a top hatch side piece was showing a recess so this needed to be filled with putty and sanded. All in all not too bad - but the lining up miss match under neath is a surprise. OC.
  9. That is looking so nice Kevin, the wood detailing is really sharp - and the varnish makes it Pop. OC.
