Thank you Dave  ;)

Amazingly (I say that with feeling) I managed to cut a mask for the 'N533.'
I wasn't banking on the machine going into Nano mode, but Nano mode it did. Happy days!

Rudder and fin dry fitted. I used 0.3 rod to pin them together. It was either that or risk the Rudder pinging off into No Mans Land never to be seen again  :o

Note to self. Buy some excellent quality cotton gloves for handling the kit during the finishing stages. I'm getting tired of scrubbing off finger prints  :-X :-X

Onward!

superb build, taking notes.

regarding the gloves, i was going to buy animation painting gloves (like for old school animation not CGI) but the $hipping out$ide the U$ was ridiculou$. so i found these on amazon. same basic idea and a lot cheaper.

Wunderbar! Great work, Bob. I think this one will be your best model up to now.

Terri, Jeff and Manni - Thank you! You guys are pushing me over the finishing line.

Jeff,
 Thanks for the link. I did manage to find a UK seller of cotton gloves and went ahead and ordered them...all 24 pairs! LOL

Cheers,

Is Collishaw going to fly it?

How is the limited edition figure included with the kit doing Bob?

Dave, the Collishaw figure is tip top quality. The bloke attempting to paint said figure is hopeless  ::)

Jeff, Only 18 pairs? You must try harder  ;D

If the figure is half as good as the plane, it should be awesome!

I guess I could be here with a pair of pom-poms and cheerleader uniform but at my age now jumping and prancing just isn't in the cards anymore so I will stick with GO BOB GO !
