They were mate very at first was also my first use of micro sol and set. Not sure they're the best quality either, it seemed to take ages for them to absorb the micro, they were also very flimsy with just water.

Wasted a few but git the hang of it. They look quite good I think, git all they other ammo box stowage to do, then Matt clear coat and the weathering can begin.

At this rate it will be Christmas :crazy:

The engineering on modern kits has come a long way, and it looks like your skills haven't rusted at all! This should work out well, looking great so far.

Having recently moved I don't as yet have BB, that's another story BT :wall: but I've been busy :banana: :th:

Not too many pictures I'm afraid, doing this mobile with weak signal is painful to say the least anyway here you go

I've been on the bench last few days still not got BB and using MWifi which is very slow so less posting the BB is due on tomorrow :th:

Here's what I've been up to last few days, the light/camera is showing the recognition panel as red but it's orange.

Small up date, I've started the weathering :th: well I've been at it for a week couple hours a day.

This is my first attempt and I'm reading and probably over thinking it all so it's slow going as I don't want to muck it up. I can't get decent pictures at present the flash just wipes out all the detail and makes the model appear all one colour. I'll try again tomorrow, fingers crossed I'll get some decent ones :thumb1:

As promised, here's pictures of the various stage's I've been through. I can't really get the light right but there not too bad for a phone camera.

There's still a bit to do, side log's, cupola vision glass, headlight glass and a bit more weathering here and there, but the end is in sight :banana: :banana: :banana:
