Hi Walter,
What a difference it makes just to get those pieces of cladding onto the frame work. Lovely job on opening up those vents, it makes such a difference to the look of the build.
Happy building
David

No luck with this build!
First i didn`t get any shipments for almost 5 months and now my last shipment was stolen from my cellar, where the postman left it for me!
No idea, who is interested in model-parts!
So i will have to wait again!
On the other Hand, there are still a lot of vents to open on the last part :-)Greetings,
Walter

Hi there, it`s been a while! Just a little update, showing my rear plastic part with the opened vents. I scratched from the inside with a blunt modelling knife until the vents were shining through. Then opened from the outside. Finally i used the plastic-glue method to smoothen the edges. DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,
Walter
