Well theres really not much to go on this build. Just waiting for the last parts from Mike & decided to get what I have on in the meantime except for the landing pads that will be done last.
I realised that Mikes measurements for the rod piece at the front under the chin is out as was taken off the replica & not the original. The original needs the 2 rods that connect to the F1 piece to be a tad longer. So yep had to snap em off & I'll cut some new ones.
The rockets are back on with the correct parts asell as the 1 radiator until I get the replacement for the one I used on My battlestar Butt Plate
Had to fix a couple of the Nitto parts that the tubing snapped off the bottom ends. Mike told me to use some tube which I did & whalar! Their fixed alsmost good as new
One of those pieces actually snapped into four after I snapped it off & got it glue back quite nice.
So small stuff now & getting ready to paint the cabin.
Its raining here so not a good start to the holidays for the kids....
