Nice work on the re-scribe Ian, is the scribe tool readily available in craft / hobby stores?

I just got mine in the post today, from John naturally. I bought a riveter tool as well. Looking forward to trying them out. (on a scrapper).

The re-scribing you did Ian, was it repair or missing panels?

!

I was not clear about you re did the whole kit. I thought that you had just added a bit and repaired a few sand off's

That makes it seriously good!!

Nice work Ian. I've got exactly the same gap in my kit at the forward fuselage underside.Filled mine with Squadron green.

It is coming along we'll Ian, nice cans and paint work. Scribing looks great too. I had the same gap problem fixed it with filler and a lot of sanding now I know it would have been quicker doing what you have done.

Looking good Ian.

It looks like I have missed out on a lot of fun going for the Hasegawa kit. The fit was pretty good and I only had to fill a few small sections where the top and bottom fuselage meet.
