.. well I hope this update is more successful than the previous with images..
.. it may not look much,but this undercarriage stuff is VERY thin/fiddly,and takes an age to get together,done one,made mistakes, hopefully the second will be flawless?!!:flushed:....

... Certainly mistakes on that one, but I've tried to make good,this lot...

Will come out ok straight away?!!
If you suspect that I'm tackling this build in a kind of haphazard way, there's a good reason for it....
... I AM!! :tears-of-joy:

Looks good Andy , as for that undercarriage I can under stand it being tricky, it's so thin .

Indeed it is John...
.. it's quite a tricky assembly :flushed:
Great to hear from you mate,
Love to yourself and Christine, from all of us down ere in Devon :thumb2:

[The Smythe Meister]

Ok then my fellow little plastic warriors ...
... After much a gnashing of teeth, screaming blue murder,and general pleas to the modelling gods,....
... I've managed to get the undercarriage assembled and weathered, whilst also making serious inroads to the two motors,(which,btw,look to be equally fiddly!!:flushed....

The motors with just early paint/wash awaiting the MANY tiny pipework bits!!....


... And the incredibly fiddly landing gear put together,painted,and a bit weathered.Finally, the underneath...

Early days here,but had to make a start due to the wheel assemblies nearly done!!
It's coming along now, been a bit taxing in places I have to admit, but we're on the way now!!:thumb2:
Thanks for looking in as always,more to come tomorrow evening I hope
Cheers for now
Andy
