Maybe i should take note of what i've just said to Bob but, i feel that i also must apologise for not updating this build. Had a slight accident at work that involved me, a barn door, high winds and a 6ft flight in the air with a undignified crash landing in a sh**ty puddle. Suffice to say that one dislocated thumb, bruised elbow, knee and whiplash later, i'm a little reluctant to sit at mymodel desk and fiddle with little tiny bits of plastic lol.

Hopefully will be back to it this weekend.

Hi Alan
Sounds rough. Take things easy. I know in farming it is not easy to take things easy but try. I read somewhere that farming is up there at the top for accidents.

I'll be ok Bob. Just sore and my hand is a little weak as i cannot grip properly. Joys of having to work in all the elements to bring people their food. Some people out there just see a packet on a shelf and don't understand what it takes to get it there lol

Cheers guys. Accident forms all filled in and an interview with the H&S manager on Friday. Deep joy.

Will get back to the build this weekend. Want to get this build done and have a crack at the squiggle paint scheme.

Cheers guys. Got there eventually. Some of the Eduard masks didn't fit properly so had to either cut or extend them. I've found this before with Eduard. Never had a problem with any other manufacturers ones. Might have to use others instead in the future (providing they are available).

73 different masks to fit!
That looks a lot like it would be both faster and easier to just mask the whole canopy and cut out the framing.
