    I'm not sure Tim, shouldn't they be round.............UMMM, Ahhhh, sorry, wrong joints.............Getting a really nice fit with minimal filling is always a plus Tim. Also good there were no steps in the fit either. Guess we're almost to the masking part now, huh? It looks good me Sir, so bring on the rest.

    Prost

      Cheers for the support mate. Nowhere near primer or paint yet though Allen. Minor filling of those joints now. I want to get them sorted before primer. Still got all the stick on bits, speed bumps, radiators, coolers, tail etc to do before that. Should move on quite quickly now though.

        They're fantastic Tim.
        Hope I can do my kits that much justice

          Cheers Bob. The Eduard parts really are almost instant modelling. The seat belts are a bit fiddly, but the instrument panel just needs gluing on once the original part has been filed flat.

            Hi Tim
            That looks very neat indeed. Wing joins can be problematic but you would be hard put to better yours.

                    As long as it has “wing” in front of it I can live with that Colin?
