Doug, Kevin - thanks for your comments and input
Yesterday and most of today saw very little progress though yesterday was mainly taken up with a really great lunch with all the other 'yachties' from our model boat club and their wives - very enjoyable all round.
I did the final touches this afternoon but gave myself a minor heart attack when in trying to blow some spots of pigment over the tail lower surfaces caught the paintbrush with the airflow a bit too much and shot a great splodge of it over one side. Fortunately I was using white spirit as a medium so it was quickly wiped off and all resolved but for an instant my heart sunk - eleventh hour and all that. This build certainly has had it's moments
My printer needs a thorough overhaul if not replacing so printing the nameplate proved a chore but a reasonable one was finally produced so with that in place (with some peel-able glue in case an improvement is forthcoming) it's done. Tomorrow I will get the lights down from the loft and hopefully get some better lit images to post on 'Completed Models'. In the meantime though I thought you might like a sneak preview as of 15 mins ago
So to coin that well known phrase then,
'That's all Folks' Thanks for watching,
Regards - Ramon
