[Alexis]

Thanks Rick for continuing to follow along on this hair pulling adventure and leaving positive feedback which is most appreciated 

I'm very pleased that it looks like nothing happened at all and I should have went a different way but lesson learn't which I'm 100% positive I will make on future builds

I'm glad you didn't bin this one.  It will look great!

[Alexis]

Thanks Ken  Don't think that is something I would do , bin it . It would end back as a shelf queen

I have paged through your build and have to admire to your stick to it edness!  You have overcome some hurdles and continue to march to ensure an outstanding model is the outcome.  Good to see you continue on with this, a lesser person would have trashed it.  Looking forward to the next update.  This must be a CSM kit when they were still in Arizona as it's that tan resin.  He uses a grey resin now days.

Hi Mark ,

Thank-you for the kind comments . Yes , I bought this kit when Eric was the owner back in 2006 , with many more still in the stash .

That is what I like to see Terri - true grit when the kit resists going together properly. Please do not return it to the shelf - you have now done so much that it would be a real shame if is not completed. Looking forward to seeing it in the completed section.

Hi Stephen ,

It will be completed , the engine and cowl are ready to be installed now and then rest of the PE parts , do a pin wash , seal that and getting her together is all that is left .

Great to see you're still plugging away at this, Terri.

It looks worth the effort.

[Alexis]

Thanks Oldman , in guess in the end it is all worth it !

The engine is mounted with the cowl and retaining strap and made on start on the pe parts . Few more to go . I did lose one of the mounting plates for the struts , so the underside rear struts will not have this detail , don't have a small enough punch to make a new disc . This will change in the future

Some super - clean modelling on a difficult build, Terri! Looking amazing! Marc.

[Alexis]

Thanks Rick and Marc 

I'm off to the bench to work on her 


Terri

[Alexis]

Okay ....Was able to get the rest of the PE parts in place and a pin wash is applied . I'm setting this aside so the wash can fully dry overnight and do the sealing coat tomorrow . Then I'm right back to where I left off ....making turnbuckles and rigging and getting her finally put together !

Terri,
You have every reason to be happy. Those bits and pieces are really jazzing things up.
