Always wanted to see one of these in `stars `n bars` old chap. :ph43r:

Now, the plus or minus, depending on your point of view with this kit, is that you have the option to `open up` one side of the model to show the interior.

Thats not for me in this case so it`s out with the tape and `green`.

So I`m going to let this dry, then smooth it off, remain calm and carry on.....! :D

A couple of picture updates.

One showing the cockpit area with the fire extinguisher adding a speck of colour.

The other showing the main fuselage assembled. Had a little trouble getting this one to fit which I don`t remember happening on my last one. I suppose it just shows that not every mould is the same or perfect. It should be a easy cosmetic fix once the two halves have fully bonded.

Last update from me on this project before my family and I head off down to Cornwall on holiday to, if the forecast can be relied on, practice our flood evacuation procedures.... :lol:

Tail has been assembled and will also need to minor touch up`s as it didn`t seem to want to fit together very well. Also note that the masking tape has been removed and taken some of the `shine` with it. :dead

Looks like I`m going to have to do this the old fashioned way...... :rolleyes:

I`m back.......! :empire

After swimming back from Cornwall the only decent shots of aircraft I got were at Culdrose in the middle of a monsoon rain storm.......

.... and yes it really was that wet but not bad shots for a Sony compact.

Getting back to the rotordyne I have attached the wings and added the glass to the cockpit.

Need to crack on with this baby now.

Slow, but steady progress, and it`s starting to take shape. Just need to clean up a few areas and it`s a good`n.

Applied some decals today to see if I can give it that American 1950`s feel.

Not so sure if I suceeded but it`s the best I can do with what I have to play with.

Still a bit of finishing to be done, not least applying a wash, but that won`t be for a week or so as I need to order them and get it delivered.
