Thanks chaps. Appreciate you looking in and leaving a comment.
On the subject of the 'little details', my son woke me at 4:15am having had a nightmare so I got up and cracked on. I had the rest of the Snyder edit of Justice League to watch anyway and these things keep my hands busy!
I've run some more primer over the fuselage on the final hunt for defects, of which there are a few, so I applied some surfacer to these and left it to dry.
Then I turned my attention to the weapons systems.
The hellfire cradles are a simple two part assembly and in the spirit of my usual builds I am leaving off armament. Reviewing these cradles reveals what looks like a runner groove, which would make sense. As you can see, the kit part does not, so I pulled out my razor saw and added it.
I also drilled out the rocket pods. Might need to run through the back plate with a slightly bigger diameter.
Then I turned to the 30mm cannon. After cleaning it up I clipped off what seems to be a bracing / protective cage. I could not figure out what the instructions were telling me to do and no matter how I offered it up it didn't seem to make sense.
I took to google and looked up some references for examples of the cannon under British use and found this. The kit part bears only a passing resemblance!
Queue another bout of scratching and I've got this. There are some other details I'll consider adding. I won't attempt the slots in the flashider, it's just too small! There is also a kit part for the cable cutter that has been added...it's close enough!
Thanks for bearing with me. Hoping to get some paint on soon!
