.... Some progress,for a rather maligned kit, it's not that bad!
Those decals went down well,(there's half a dozen just there!),the fit of the fuselage halves doesn't appear great, after a dry fit,so I'm doing it in stages
Thanks very much Ron,Wow that ejection seat looks the biz Andy !
Don't do that Ron look at mine a bit close its quite shabby but I enjoy using it ,wouldn't say the more you do the better you become ,my thinking being the more you use it the more confident you become with confidence comes improvement a bit like the airbrush . DaveHm. Maybe I should just send my photoetch stuff for you to tackle Dave

Solid advice Dave, thanks Buddy. Right after I finished my demolished storage bins I felt spent. Yet, at the same time wished I'd another set to do just to apply the lessons learnt from the first ones....Don't do that Ron look at mine a bit close its quite shabby but I enjoy using it ,wouldn't say the more you do the better you become ,my thinking being the more you use it the more confident you become with confidence comes improvement a bit like the airbrush .

Well done Andy stress free is how it should be why fill your leisure time(or should that be pleasure time)doing something that's not giving anything back hence that Polish thing although not trashed was put too the shelf of doom. I went back to my loved 72nd scale and although the thing is covered in etch whilst not my favourite I throughly enjoyed the whole thing its not the best but hey I could say it was fun doing it. DaveA bit more done... It's certainly not the kind of kit we're all used to,however, it's definitely one that can turn out to be quite satisfying... I hope!!
LOTS of clean up necessary,and some persuasion,but here....

Job done... Not my best effort ever,but it's almost like when I did a kit as a boy... completely stress free!!
Ditto Ron with mine there should have been a strip of etch along the face of the track guards to form a raised lip totally botched my first attempt mullerd the thing only afterwards did a sensible plan of action spring to mind but too late by then but as mentioned next time out confidence won't let the same happen.

If you havent already, add a post in the Figure Building section of the Forum.I've always loved dioromas, even as a child in the 70s. I'm also vary impressed with the ones developed by people on this forum.
Anyway I thought I'd give it a go myself. I'll be starting simple and using this Master Box kit. I'm not up to scratch building yet. I have though bought some foamboard and will extend this slightly beyond the sandbags.
I've no idea where this will go and it could be an absolute disaster but I'm going to take my time, do some research, learn some new skills and have fun.

I'll tag along Andy. Have a link, (or two), to the Gannet.I've made a start on the Airfix 1/48 Gannet. I figured I might get the interior done before putting it aside when the biplane GB starts. I'll do a proper blog when I resume, but it's a big box and it's going together really well so far
