Thanks all for stopping by and your comments. It's a really tricky build with lots of patience required and the instructions are a pig in places

This is certainly a build for a clear head and a steady hand. You certainly get value for money in terms of the number of parts to put together. Hope you have something in mind for display/protection because this one really needs to be seen being so detailed and very well put together by you. Happy Modelling

Great job on what looks to be a very fiddley build. There`s lots of pieces going together in a relatively small area. Keep up the good work. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Dave, If one wanted to cover some surfaces, a la cut away, what material would you choose or recommend. The detail is fantastic. You have made it look so easy. Tom

Tom it would have to be very thin since these are quite delicate models.Maybe tissue paper and dope.I dont think you could use aluminum sheets without distorting the underlying frame. Carl
