Cheers Max. It was indeed a relief - having heard that some of the fine modellers around these parts had trouble with it, there was a degree of trepidation!

As Spock would say - Fascinating

Trying to remember how I built my Trumpy P-47 but it was a while ago so I’m no use I’m afraid!

 

your original 1/48 Jug looked pretty decent btw

Lots of progress today. Wing wrangling and fin fighting complete.

 

Definitely not Tamiya levels of fitment and putty required in most joins…

 

 

One more session and the painting and decorating can begin!

Great stuff Rich! 
PS How many of those brushes do you use?

Since getting an airbrush - very few!

Mental note to self: I always like to snoop around and peek at peoples work areas, somehow I missed that. I need to pay more attention next time 

[MikeMaben]

Those little mini brushes are handy tho 

Nice progress Rich.

Yeah, I do get through a lot of those - they're great for fiddly jobs like applying filler etc.

You could spend hours looking at mine and it's relatively tidy (by my standards!) currently.

In actual progress - I have sore arms from sanding, but the model looks the same. I was overly optimistic thinking I could get all the cracks sealed smoothly in one session.

 

There'll be a fair degree of re-scribing to do too.

 

Hey-ho, it's all part of the fun.
