I agree with Ken, sixty etch parts the size of a penny, that would make me go blind, great work Andy, looking forward to the next update. Regards Paul Building: DelPrado HMS Victory. Building: DeAgostini Sovereign Of The Seas.

Thanks for looking in and your comments everyone, as for the grill once the crank handle block was added to the centre it was easy to work outward from the block adding the backing strips along with the down strips. Once you reached each end it was just filling in the centre sections. Sounds complicated but easy once you had a sequence to work too Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Great work Andy. Is that the 2k clear coat we spoke about. If so what a great finish mate. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.

Hi all The Decals arrived yesterday so they were applied and left overnight to dry. This morning up with the lark and the final body parts have now been clear coated. They are now dry to the touch but I have found its best to leave them for a day for the diamond coat to fully cure. So tomorrow its on with the final assemblies. More soon.

Hi All 90% of the body panels have now been fitted but 1st the windscreen bracket was added along with the leather rear cockpit shroud and rivets. The nose cone had the grill fitted and the alpha decal added to the etch alpha badge which was placed onto the upper nose. Still a bit more to go on.
