The coiled wire on the bottom of the antenna is amazing.
You must have the patience of a saint.

Tommy, many thanks fella . You certainly need a lot patience with these Miniart kit bash conversions . Steve, well appreciated ole chap . Pete, too kind mucker . Today I went back to the antenna , there should be a prominent bulge on the spring that tapers out towards the ends. To get this bulge I used some styrene rod (2mm Ø) turned in the poor mans lathe . The resulting part was drilled out and added to the antenna, then once again I twisted the copper wire around it. I reckon it looks better now . Also I added the large towing eyes to the front lower hull, and started on the gun clamp. Might get a tad more done tomorrow, we'll see
