            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.

                Finally got back to the model desk today. Still sore but life goes on.

                Got the masking finished. 73 different masks to fit! Ah the joy of the He111.

                Started on the cockpit PE.

                      Hi Alan
                      Hope you're on the road to recovery.
                      Masking looks neat and tidy. A real painstaking job.

                            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).

                              PE fitted to the cockpit. The plastic is showing its age. Everything is quite chunky compared to todays mouldings. I'd love to get my hands on the ICM versions.

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