5/6 got hear to day yipeeeeeeeee

Did a bit More planking while waiting for Email to cum When all the planking is dun and sanded it will be coated with fine matt fibre glass in side and out side he is will give strength and water proofing

This is just a suggestion but I would paint nothing just yet as there is a lot of sanding and filing to go you could end up with paint that is so thick it will cover the fine detail .JJ on his build has all ready found out it is only to essay to mess your paint up. In the build instructions they tell you to but think they this ship will go to with out a hitch well it will not to get the base to fit I have had to do a lot of filling as there was a gap of around 1mill between the main body and the bass. Paint the small things like binos but do not put them on keep them safe till the control tower is built. I have and regretted it. Knocked sum bits off so not infallible photos to cum of the bits I am on about

Looking good.

And I like the way you are pointing out areas where things need extra attention and noting where you have made mistakes and how you are putting them right.

Keep up the good work.

And yes, it should certainly look impressive when you have finished it.



Edit: I would be inclined to paint the metal parts as I went along and store them out of harms way until you need to add bits (so as not to be faced with a mountain of painstaking work in one lump). This way you can really go to town with shading and highlighting on each part without becoming bored with painting loads of things in several shades of grey). That model (and the work you are putting in to the prepping of the metal parts) really looks as if it deserves a first class paint job and not just a nice, smooth (but flat) grey.

This is another part that needs a lot of work with the file as the base is bigger than the top All I have to do is go over with fine wet and dry to smooth out a bit more. Can not do much more as still have not got MY BUILD E MAIL YET

it is forthe last2 Issues parts 5/6 did send you EM. So far Issue except for the wood at the start parts have bin excellent one expects to have to do a bit of work as long as the parts come on time I am going to enjoy the challenges to come.
