      Well it’s complete. Not 100% happy with it, but saying that I’ve learnt hell of a lot from completing this model.
      Unfortunately quite a few breakages from me.
      80% happy with the airbrush work, so as it’s the first one pleased with it. Going to try and avoid red paint in future.
      Did enjoy making the model, but wish I had of left it till later.
      I had to improvise on somethings that I misunderstood, which was probably down to tiredness, another lesson learnt.
      Got some small cheap models of off eBay to drill, stick, spray, file, sand and fill to keep me going and learning.
      Then onto the next project.
      Thanks for all the help and advice.

        Hi Steve
        That looks pretty good. You have every reason to be happy. All that you have learned is ready to take on to your next model.

          Looks fine to me Steve. You should be pleased with it. As Jim says, the experience will be in good stead when you move on to the next one. After all, actually building something is the only real way to learn in this hobby :thumb2:

            Steve, that has come out really well.
            Top marks!

            We all keep learning until we goes 'Toes up' Anyone who implies they know it all are best avoided.

            As Jim writes "All that you have learned is ready to take on to your next model." Wise and true words.

            Here's to your next model.

              Well it looks like the subject so you're winning.
              Ok I'll (try to) behave.
              It's a learning curve Steve. One which you are cruising around. Nice job.
