      I hope the top of the hull is just dry-fit 'cos the gaps are terrible! The rest is beautiful.

                      More great work on that model. I’ve just watched a thing on YouTube of a guy who has built an exact copy of the filming model. It’s taken 7 years in total. Approximately 5 years doing the research and collecting the 150 vintage kits required for the parts identified as being used on the original. It cost him $20 thousand in total. Was a very interesting

                          That would be this video?



                          I hadn’t noticed all the Panther engine decks behind the rear three round vent thingies on the top of the ship

                              Ok on the rear wing thingy it says to put 3 decals but then you have to add pieces over the top of the decals so how would you go about it, remembering I need to paint! the decals are about 2 of the squares on the wing
