No holding you back now that you have the knowledge as all sorts of upgrades/enhancements can be moulded from a single scratchbuilt master?!
Well done!!
Kev  Hi Kev . Thanks for looking in and your great comments. I agree with you that it will open up a whole new set of doors and I am glad I took the plunge. Best regards. Mark

Hi Everyone . Here is my next instalment. I fixed the etch on the end walls of the bomb bays and made up the long range fuel tank which is not as accurate as my book so will have to change that. I also made up the bomb side walls and also in the last two photos I made up the six bomb bay doors. As usual the pin marks were ever evident. I will paint and weather them at a later date. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for looking in. Best regards to all. Mark mark 2 attached the following image(s):

Top work Mark, that etch will come alive once you get some paint over it and then you'll really appreciate how much the effort of applying the stuff (it is frustrating at times isn't it? LOL!) is totally worth it in the end?!
Keep up the good work mate, looking forward to seeing more of the same - well done!!

I think that it is worth the money because of the sheer size of it and the amount of work you have to put in like the ejector pin marks for instance. The build side is as you said and that's what I enjoy the most. I have learnt something new like molding new parts {thanks to Andy}. So all is good. Best regards. Mark
