Thanks Steve! I made some headway with the mills and as soon as I scratch the rest of the exhaust they 'll be ready for mounting

Wow Trey, before I went away you were just doing the 'Office'. Just look at it now!.

Great progress. What a pain those engines must have been....One would send me up the wall , but three!!!!

Well done,

Ron

Looking real good Trey.

[stona]

That does look good. It also looks like you needed a bit of filler. Is that Squadron Green that you use? I never got on with that stuff!

Cheers

[Guest]

thanks Ron yes having 3 was bad could'nt imagine doing a 4 engine job , but hey at that point whats one more right lol? Thanks Tony and thanks Steve yes thats Squad Green it seems ok to me ,just curious what did'nt you like about ?

I found it a bit coarse,that is when I sanded it I could never completely feather the edge in. I think it's a personal thing,I mentioned in another thread that a friend and fellow modeller swears by it. I just prefer Tamiya's filler.

I thin it with acetone and it helps a lot
