Got to agree that you are on fire with this one Bob. That C looks really good - no mistaking that one for certain!

Mini update.

Guns have been mounted (and tested

) plus a few touch-ups where overspray has crept in.

Carry on....

Thank you Stephen

Forgot to mention...

Popped along to RAF Hendon today to spy out parts on the Tripe. The nice lady warden allowed me to get up close and personal. Bless her xx
The area of interest being the Tail Skid control lines, where they exit and how far away from the skid.

Please save this image for your reference.

Thanks for the Photo Bob. I took your advice and saved it to my files. Never Know when a Tripe bug could bite

Good to see that pic, wish I'd seen it earlier

Haven't seen that view before, and that area has always been a bit vague in any documentation I've come across

Got some more pictures for y'all.

Guns in place

Dry fitting the undercarriage. Hubs also dry fitted to tire. Dust comes as added extra.

Exit point for Tail Skid cables.

Leather combing cut from Tamiya tape using my Plotter.

We still have a long way to go my friends. Follow me!

Nice work with your plotter for the leather coaming. The Tripe looks great on it's gear!

No matter how far you still have to go, the journey so far has been exciting to follow and a lesson in superdetailing. The paint finish is wonderful - including the dust!!
