Thanks once again guy's,i seem to have missed the last postings from ya's,sorry about that.
Haven't touched this in a few day's but tonight i got a bit more done.Well after thinking i had thing's not too bad like in the last update i soon realized that the rear deck being a little longer because of it being made symmetrical again caused me to have ta do some comprimising,slight modifying and repositioning a few of the part's.
OK,the rear Marder sections weren't glued down but when i was trying to space it out to position some more of the part's it was gonna be quite a bit short of the shuttle rearend compared to the pictures of the original.So comprimise i have done with some of it to try and get it looking about right.I've moved the forward part back a little but this meant the F1 part's needed moving a little also.I then extended the E Boat part's just a little so they would reach a little further back to reach the Motocrosser grip's.I've also left a little gap between the two Marder part's to help with te look at the rear.I think it's still got the look that we all know and i'm happy with it myself.The two rear Marder part's still aren't glued on,this is so i can paint them off the of the shuttle in the darker grey then glue em down after the rest of the shuttle is painted.Thats the plan anyway.
But this could also be the last update on this one for a while,i hopefully will have a new project on the bench tomorrow so this one will be on the backburner for a bit if that does happen.
