Cheers Andrew & Steve. I'm hoping to get a bit more of done with this in the next week. I've graciously been allowed to take 5 days off from Monday and hopefully SWMBO will allow me some bench time too.

Good to hear about the leave Allen. I know you have been working hard. Hope the weather holds up for you.....I hear it was a bit breezy your way a earlier this week. Down here it's surprisingly mild - more like mid-March temperatures.

Wonderful work Alan.
This really is a slow process. The kit is obviously designed to certain tolerances and adding pipework probably wasn't factored into Revell's design remit. It is taking me about an hour just to get one pipe molded to the engine and around the other pipes. They are going over and under each other which makes it even harder. It would be easier to use lead wire but one knock and it would all be out of shape again. The pipes 'ping' off every so often and then it's like a jigsaw to rebuild it all again. The swear jar is getting to overflowing level. Still, I'm happy(ish) with it so far. Still loads to do and then to strip it all down and paint. But i think it'll be worth it when slung under the wing with the panels off.

It most certainly will. It's not a race and the more intricate the work the longer it takes.
