Been there, done that, and will inevitably do it again, so I feel your pain. We put so much work into these models, take all sorts of precautions, and still these incidents rear their ugly head from time to time. The secret as we all know is in perseverance, and not giving up. I look forward to seeing how you fix the problem. And fix it you will!

Cheers,

Chris

Chris I agree with you, in such cases my first verb is .......  :-X, but lather I'm singing "Don't worry, be happy ...." and I'm saying too my self you are do it just for relax.  ;D

Now this cross is repaired



Next big challenge is painting checker. Masks for it was made by me.

Fine recovery, Adam! The masked checkerboard is nice, too. And Spandaus look very realistic.
Looking forward to see more.

Lovely recovery Adam, she is shaping up really nicely.

Keith.

This set for gun is rather easy to use, but other paints need a little practice. I'm using of course air brush, and for small parts rather brush. This colors ought to be paint very small layers which should dry before paint the next layer.

Thank you for support, my friends.  ;D
All three wings  and upper wing struts are fixed, and machine guns are ready for action  ;)
Installing armament wasn't easy but was very stressful.  :P
Now few pictures showing what is done.
