Here’s my contribution to the GB, Modelcollect’s 1/72 Islander-M  It’s complicated and looks a bit like a limited run kit as many parts don’t have locating pins but it’s well moulded and seems to fit well so far. 56 parts and 2 hours later we have this  more as I can  |

Another 2 hours on this one brings the chassis together, yet more suzzy parts and the missile bodies.  the instructions are just a bit hit and miss too.. anyone any ideas where this hole should be?   |

Not a clue. Rest of the work looks good, though.  |

Looking smart Steve . As to your question, is there any sort of indent-mark on the model itself? Maybe that is the location point for your hole  |

What are the red lines in the diagram? Is that indicating an area to remove if you wish to show the "missile luncher" in lunch position
A waffer thin mint Mr Creosote ?

Proof of life.. just! Tonight’s happy hour was fitting the 8 hubs with 2 susp arms each, that broke into 2 each when handled at all. So that was 40 ‘bits’ in total Guess it’s my fat hands and fading eyes  Also cleaned up the fuel tanks and fitted the cab floor, plus some other stuff that wasn’t in the pic  thats it for now but progress is progress eh? |
