What does PE stand for? (Asked on the basis that there's no such thing as a stupid question).

Photo Etch ... and the question was not stupid.

Hi Mark
Builds onto a big model. That PE looks a nice set but as with all PE you tend to pick and choose what is worth using. Cockpit is looking great. I rarely use CA for PE first off. I used Gator Hobby Glue (almot impossible to find now) but that white PVA works ok. Give wiggle time and cleans up with a damp brush. If I am worried about the fix being secure I wick a drop of thin CA into the join when the PVA has dried. Looking forward to the rest.

Love that PE set (thanks for asking PaulinKendal - you're not alone not knowing), and this model looks interesting too. I haven't done many planes so watching this with interest as well. Looks good so far

Quick update, bomb racks in and got some PE done in the cockpit, still more to do.

That really is coming on very nicely indeed.

Keep up the great work.

Have got colour on some of this now,some detail has been removed from the cockpit area ready for the PE...

Can I ask how you removed it, Mark? Was it omitting pieces, or cutting away moulded detail?

Hi Paul, cutting or sanding away original details was required,some of the PE was extra details not supplied with the kit in any form and just had to be glued on.

That about as many levers as my eyesight can manage.

Hi Mark
Some fine work there. PE work has added some great detail.

And you didn't lose any levers. If that was me, I'd probably have two or three left, with the others, scattered around my room.

Didn't lose any, there is a few I haven't put on though,sure no one will notice if I keep quite about it .......oops.
