Left this project off my workbench for some time whilst I got my head round going back to it. Used a solution of SHL and water to scrub the lines and mess back. Teensy bit strong stripped it back to primer!

Looking at this kit it is not the most amazing mould and having a look at the time line for the product it is no surprise, with new parts having only been added in '89. A rather simple build so far with nothing amazing to talk about but this project will be down to the paint job which I was expecting.

Thanks Vincent. Wanting to weather this once transfers are down by reluctant as I am scared to ruin the clean look 😅

Getting close to the end of this project and have been looking online for some weather effected examples. Hoping to take some inspiration and add the last details before finishing this build.

Thanks Villiers, I must admit it got more enjoyable once the paintwork started coming together 😁
