without having the extra PE i am struggling with what i can get on with and that which will be replaced, i fully appreciated the views those who would say build from the box, and get on with it, but the extra bits were in my budget, i just never expected to have to use it so soon the hangers have had a coat of primer

good morning everyone thankyou for the comments i used to read with interest about this subject, and we have our own views about it, however, i am building a model that represents a piece of history, a moment in time, if and when the time comes and it upsets to many, then i will have to do something about it, and if that means removing my build from MSW then so be it, im not here to open wounds or re visit all the horrors that went on, just putting some plastic together and enjoying doing so, but thank you for bringing the subject to light again

Good evening everyone the funnel area progress, finding i am spending more time worrying about the weathering than the build it's self so have told my self no more painting until i am much further ahead, i am constantly checking build logs to avoid doing to much that i may rip out , the fitting kit that i dont have at present, replaces so much of the original (or should i say enhances a lot of the original) there are 3 hangers on the build one of them is a double am hoping to be able to do some work so you can possibly see some of the internals
