Nicely done!!

A shame about the props, but the rest of the build looks great

Thanks 🙂 I want to point out that I never relied on masking the side windows the way one would expect. What I did was to add primer and paint just around the small window openings on the two hull parts on the sides, then gluing on the small windows, then adding a rough mask, then gluing the parts together. I nearly worked but I wasn't careful enough and had some issues with overspray with grey on grey leaving a subtle edge of sorts, but in theory, it would have worked imo. Ideally I should have avoided letting any paint get near the side window areas so as to avoid spraying on top of the rough masking tape covering the windows. The gloss coats just went over the side windows. I did not dare covering the big canopy piece with gloss coat. Any speck of dust or particles and it would look bad imo. On the flip side, adding a gloss coat over masking tape, seems to have the stuff build up against the masking tape edges, which sucks. I should try being more careful not spraying any more paint around masking than strictly needed.

Even with your build issues, the finish came out well. I have this kit, but I want to build it in different markings than provided in the box. I suppose I'll get around to it some day.

Dave Flitton
YES! Different markings would be great!
