Thanks Neil everyone keeps hinting at the pidgeons I think in the end its going to be rude not to have at least a couple on there somewhere. Dave

For all it's troubles that has turned out to be a great looking model Dave, you guys that build microscopic things (technical term) never cease to amaze me, I have built one but the other one under the bench will have to go as I have decided I am not a fan of 1/72.

Just caught up David, loving the work your putting into this. It's coming together very nicely, keep up the great work.

[David Lovell]

Well I'm calling it done ,as I keep saying no such thing as a bad kit just some aren't as good as others, I think the only thing learnt from this one was patience , fit of parts was very good there were a few of the flat no detail on one side parts but they came as no surprise ,looking at the shots I dont feel the mesh is really to scale probably some net curtain would have been better but we don't have nets nor any old ones anywhere so thats that. All in all not a bad little kit if your prepared to invest some time and effort ,if you fancy one apart from scratching one this is your only choice so fair play to Roden for giving us it ,I dont see the big 35th hitters fighting over each other to bring the choice out there , oh I forgot their still pushing the pzkw's a-z's ,smiley face . Thank you all for your help and encouragement it does make a difference.

I'll post up the rest of the pic's in the finished soft skin bits then I'm off to find the next one ,once again many thanks for your kind comments and help. Dave
