Today's update Added the target thingy to top of control panel (have no idea what its actually called). Consists of 3 pieces of clear film 1 clear resin disc and 1 bit of photo etch. fiddly to say least but i seem to have got it to work (sadly a bit to much glue on top of film parts). Thanks for looking (sorry for not so sharp pics, done on phone as camera) Stephen

You are making this kit work so much better than my eternity with it. I bought (2) online for a ridiculous bargain and thought I had it made! Totally agreed on the pitiful kit seat! Crack on, great to watch you work.

Thanks guys
the extra detail provided by resin and photo etch is great. Sadly my skills in the rescribing etc are failing me ( how I miss armour builds ). Just gave whole thing a coat of primer and found all my mistakes (and several of bits on kit that don't fit well) so more filling sanding and rescribing.
Mojo for this one is on a low, but it will be completed by end of GB (1/35 Jagdtiger is calling which doesn't help)

Shoot a coat of primer (xf19) over fuselage shows up some of my errors (some of panel lines i put back in are a bit heavy ) Will get some pre shading done then its on to camo work and building the ejector seat (gulp it has almost as many parts as fuselage) Thanks for looking and comments Stephen

Thanks Yes pre painted is good, does limit my options to give them some life though (i never find paint likes being twisted or bent) Yours look good to me, and have a nice bit of lived in look. Stephen
