Maybe! Didn't the middle drop out?

Yep they did have a detachable middle. I remember we had a white one and a metallic green one which carried radio active barrels

Today swmbo headed off to the south on an emergency babysitting job giving me 5 days at the desk . Today’s modelling was swapped for becoming an apprentice plumber, so many pipes . A couple of minor issues today, you really have to focus when doing each section to orientate parts correctly. It hasn’t helped with parts being incorrectly numbered then parts you have to attach missing from diagrams a couple of steps later
Nice plastic which cleans up nicely too. You need to really plan ahead for painting as stuff gets hidden. Anyway upward and onward.

The build box is getting pretty full now so about time I did some undercoating to highlight any seams I’ve missed.

[Mickc1440]

Found another minor mistake today when building the main pod. Firstly the locating points for the ends and walls aren’t great but was ok after I sort of tack welded them in place first, after that it all squared off nicely. When it was built there were four slots on the roof and no parts shown to fit, however on the instructions it showed pieces fitted. I found them on the sprue so all good

[Allen Dewire]

Wow Mick, that sure is a box of parts you have there. It does look like you're ready to shoot some paint on them. You always have to love destructions!!!...It's good to see you got your balls squared away too!!!..........Bring on the wet stuff, youngster.............

Prost
