Your really making a great job with this build Paul. Your transformation to the Dark Side is almost complete.

Thank you all kindly chaps . I still have a lot to do here, and each day I look at it I find even more . I reckon Ian will cross the line this weekend , but hey no problem with that, I'll get him back another day with an armour duel

Okay chaps, still continuing along this road of tasks . After looking at the reference book once again, I noticed that the payload stabilizers have round discs which press against the nasties to keep them stable. The kit parts don't have them, so I made my own 1.5mm discs punched from 0.3mm card. These parts also have a different colour to the lower fuselage. I can see black, white and grey. So I chose dark Gull grey for them and Humbrol Aluminium for the worn fronts of the discs

Nice attention to detail Mister B. It's these small extra's which often lift a model to a next level.
