Nice progress Mike. Well out of my league.

Keep up the good work.

Never sell yourself short.

John, Lee, Tim and Steve.
Welcome and many thanks for the comments and 'likes'.

Update.
The centre beam is now complete...

The problem with the kit offering was bent and twist over the length and with the small parts a bit on the delicate side I decided not to risk the heat method...

As you can see from this view...
And a couple of close ups...


And the right side stowage bins are now attached and waiting for the other tow cable 'box' to be completed and the final details added.

A bit blurred - better pic later.
Cheers
Mike.

Excellent scratchery as we have come to expect.

Totally agree. Modelling at it's best.

Have to agree with Andrew and out of my leaque comment, superb build yet again Mike

Way past my skills :thumb2:

Once again I sit and stare in wonder at your dedication and skill !
Had a little laugh at the stack of PE you'll use, definitely more than I'll get through in my whole modelling career.

No Dan, I will only be using selected bits such as latches for bins etc....

[Graeme C.]

Cracking work Mike.

[Isitme]

Update,
The side bins/cage is now finished for the right side of the central bar along with the two cables. The 'T' bar screw and plate are safely away from the bench - already lost two.
Mike.

Update,
Now got the rear 'A' frame complete and mounted, also the beam holding the stowage bins/cages.



Now to start the other bins...
Mike.
