Got the figures in place and fitted the seatbelt. I’m going to have a look in the spares box for a spanner, I think it would go great in front of the guy bending over.

great idea for a model without a 1/35 pilot figure :thumb2:

Going to call this one done. I will get a completed thread done tomorrow, when I have some decent light for pictures.

There is no shame in posting your work Rich. Not ever!
Nobody on here will judge you. You will receive support in spades, and hints and tips if you want them. I have never seen anybody post disparaging remarks about another’s work. If, by posting, you perceive faults that you could improve on next time, then that’s a good thing and is an integral part of the learning curve. Expert modellers, as you call them, are simply modellers that have been around a while and have a well developed self critical facility analysing their own faults and working to correct them.

Well said Tim.
