    That is superb attention to detail Allan. All that detail in 1/72 makes me wonder if I can achieve the same in 1/48! Well done!

    Allan (@kalamazoo), you got that windshield framed mate! (sorry)
    Seriously though, it is coming along very nicely.

    Allan, @kalamazoo
    I know I have made comments in the past about how nicely you manage to get the clear parts done on all of your builds. This Sikorski HRS-1 is no exception... I don't know how you manage to do this each and every time. I almost always end up somehow getting a fingerprint or a smudge on mine. Well done my friend. 🙂

    Cleanup with a blade - needs a steady hand I should think! (I use a wooden cocktail stick and acrylic) Is the future klear strong enough for that?

    Great progress @kalamazoo

    I use a toothpick too and solvent thinner (I use enamels), Allan @kalamazoo and Erik @airbum.
    Feeling hesitant and afraid to use a blade, but looks like it produces a fine job...I might give a try...
