Thanks my friends @kalamazoo and @roofrat!
Allan, looking forward for your Harrier!
Robert, the Revell decals are super! Cartograf and very comprehensive, they promise o boost the model looks a lot!

Thanks my friend @airbum!

The blob is Patafix attached, so the bottle (which keeps water thin glue) can be firmly attached and secured at the corner walls of a shallow mini box I keep it, together with many Humbrol enamels. In the past, no matter how I love smelling the fumes, I had some graphic instances of the bottle capsizing, with all the glue spilt allover the surrounding area...

Your next question might very sensibly be: "Spiros, why don't you put the bottle on the bench when you need it and put it back in the box when you finish?" and the answer is : "I don't know why! Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't...".

As if you haven't already realized I am not the normallest person you know... 🙂

Pictorial PFP QCs Victor evaluation hopefully tonight!

Basic elements puttied...

Nice solution, my friend @kalamazoo!
Thanks!

Thanks, my friend @airbum!
Indeed,we can always rely on our friend @kalamazoo: so many tricks and solutions shared already!

Wow! @fiveten - you must be using deficit spending of magic to get this thing along! Amazing work - you're getting more out of this kit than Matchbox ever put into it.

Good job, Spiros. Those are some serious gaps to deal with.

This build brings back so many memories from my early modeling days. Pre-internet times, most of the time you had no idea about the age of the kit, or whether it was a rebox. I spent my pocket money on very old and very challenging kits (oh look, a 1:72 B-17G, how cool is that! Now I know that the old Airfix kit is a 1962 tooling... ) Terrible fitting, wrong shapes, missing details.

You do great job here, can’t wait to see the finished kit.
