  1. Evening all, more progress starting to fit the vision blocks in the different areas on the roof, in the super detail set are self sticky block covers that are translucent and look excellent if a little fiddly to fit. OC.

  4. 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.

  15. 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.
