Here’s my contribution to the GB, Modelcollect’s 1/72 Islander-M ![](https://preview.ibb.co/eYULWV/70-C910-AC-A937-4-C18-8219-EA46-EBBC2-E09.jpg) 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 ![](https://preview.ibb.co/c2yB5q/C9-E8-C3-D4-DF75-47-A0-9233-14713052-D5-B5.jpg) more as I can

Another 2 hours on this one brings the chassis together, yet more suzzy parts and the missile bodies. ![](https://preview.ibb.co/inpixf/BA1-DA0-B3-5-BB6-4-C16-A8-D5-3-EFD6930-A062.jpg) the instructions are just a bit hit and miss too.. anyone any ideas where this hole should be? ![](https://preview.ibb.co/kYdFA0/7793-C4-B3-399-E-4-CAA-A183-F8-B0445237-B7.jpg)

Looking smart Steve ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . As to your question, is there any sort of indent-mark on the model itself? Maybe that is the location point for your hole ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

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 ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) 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 ![](https://preview.ibb.co/mMySPq/A43-B894-B-3-B44-4-A23-BCD4-8-F0088-FD57-F7.jpg) thats it for now but progress is progress eh?
