Looking good, forge ahead. Funny, I can and have used tons of photoetch on ships without any issues. Outside of seat harnesses I have no desire to add or use PE on aircraft. Most if not all of it is hidden or not that much better than the kit part. Just my humble opinion 😄

I hate photo etch with a passion Nick. I would rather use the kit part, like yourself than photo etch. If I can get hold of fabric set's of seatbelts I use them. Or mock them up with masking tape. Thank you for the compliment too. 🤟🥸🤘

Looking good. Fingers crossed that there isn't any leakage once the canopy masks are removed. I hate canopy masking.

Cheers Rui S. I did enjoy the painting as I stated, but not wholly satisfied with the outcome. 🤟🥸🤘

Ah, thank you Robert. But you should see it close up. Pitot tube broke, ill fitting wheels, manual gunsight pinged off, I'll fitting clear parts and fogged, scratched interior of the canopy. But it was enjoyable all in all. But I thought I would post it anyway mishaps and all.

"Nobody is perfect", Mark - there are much more faults in my models 🙂 On the photos it looks great!

That's very true Guy. Is this why we spend countless hours trying to get rid of seams? 😳 🤘😅🤟🥸👍😅 Thanks for the like too and everyone else who smashed that button as the Young Un's say. 👍🥸🤟

Beautiful finish Mark! The problem with building these things is that we're intimately aware of ALL of the imperfections from beginning to end. We might actually enjoy the finish that much more if we could erase our memories of the build. On the other hand. We wouldn't appreciate all the problems we solved along the way, and nobody would ever waste time on an interior.

Thank you for the kind comment Doubtingmango. I agree, also it makes you aware of your own foibles too. It was the canopy that really mystifies me it went on clear, I used Kristal to glue it on and used the kit masks. Bloody Grumlins' 🤟🥸🤘
