Those brass barrels do look the business Dave.

Nice, that gun barrel looks much better than the plastic one.

Good progress Dave. I'm surprised the kit has a few gaps, although I think when you sand back the putty these aren't going to be that bad. Metal gun barrels always add a bit more finesse especially when you have perforated muzzle brakes like those of the 37mm canon.

I keep saying this but this promises to be one cool mean-looking model.

Nice bit of brass....

I've sanded the filler and rescribed lost panel lines.Then I glued the gun sight and two of the canopy sections on.Normally I mask the canopies off the model before attaching them.But in this kit they are very thin and fragile,so I will mask them on the model.

[Dave W]

I've just spent ages masking the canopies.

Looks good Dave

Rather you than me Dave! Good job though.

[Guest]

Is a perfect work Dave

Masking canopies - such an important job, but it does grind you down a bit (I'm still having re-occurring nightmares about my B36) If I find the canopy a bit thin / fragile, I fill it with blu-tack to give it some strength whilst working on it.

I tried the Blue Tack trick once .I broke the canopy whilst putting the stuff in it !.
