    Cannons now fitted , i used brass tube for these as the kit ones were misaligned, plus it means i can have them hollow. The brass tube was flared out at the ends slightly by holding it in a vice and hammering a tapered pin into it . While I had the brass tube out I replaced the pitot as the plastic one was misaligned too.
    The aerial has now been added and the wires fitted . One other thing ive had to do is add the position light at the very end of the tail . This was a piece of stretched clear sprue sanded to shape and drilled to simulate the bulb .
    The throttle levers have been stuck in and painted , the exhaust stains have been done now and thats it - finito !!
    Only 6 months late !
    Heres the last few pics on this thread and i’ll take some better pics tomorrow , thanks to all who have been watching/ commenting Cheers tonyClick image for larger version

      Okay. You've done a really good job on the chipping, I'll grant you that
      And I REALLY like the painted on markings!

        My Gawd Tony!!! Big scale or tiny scale, there is no end to your talents to make a kit 100% better than it is. Then, paint it, with painted on markings and weather it to make it look real to boot!!! Respect Sir!!!...

        Prost
