The paintwork is fantastic great work so far
Funny, I always like loading up my models with lots of scratchbuilding and resin with PE, although 50% of it isn't seen. It gives me a sense of satisfaction.... :D I really like getting Eduard sets and Aires cockpit sets as I always pose the canopy open.\ said:Yes it's a mixed bag. When I did Jets I liked the Eduard 'Zoom Sets' for the cockpits, and depending on the model maybe an exhaust. Problem is I don't have a local model shop, so when you are buying a kit online you try to cut down on postage and get everything together, and with PE you very often are buying blind, and get disappointed.
When I did my EE Lightning, I bought a resin cockpit etc. etc. which wasn't cheap, and when you fitted the very small canopy everything in the cockpit was hidden - a big waste of money. Moral of the story - do your research first. Cheers Derek
I probably would had got an aftermarket replacement or trashed it if that happened to me. Good to see you are sticking through this build.\ said:Thanks for all the positive commentsGang!
Ran into a mystery of sorts,this damage mysteriously appeared over the weekend. No explanation can be found as it was not near any heat source at all,very wierd,

No sense fretting over it,after I got over being angry I dove in and fixed it. I cut the rudder away and filed the edges flat on both surfaces. Then I added some sheet styrene cut to fit,then filled gaps and seams with thin ca. The surface still needed a little green putty and after a final sand and rescribe I reattached the rudder and primed the repair.
