She's like a brand new baby straight from the box now...kind of like ten steps forward.... thirty steps back ...but I'm loving every minute of it now... as now after I do a little work... I can start her up and playPainlessWolf wrote:Good Morning,
This build is really coming into focus, Alpha. It is so cool to see it assembled and anticipating your detail work leading up to paint.

Hey palepainter... be careful if you plan on removing those armor plates ...they have enormous holes hidden underneath....I think it's so the sound can come out... but dang... they were huge .... most people here know I don't like to use fillers... so what I did was to sand the stripped armor... cut them into puzzle like pieces... and fit them into the holes left in the Hull.. then with super glue ...sand and smooth the surfaces....What was a good thing HENG LONG did... was they actually recessed the area from the inside of the hull... so once the pieces were fit in... they were pretty flush from both sidespalepainter wrote:Bravo!! Coming along nicely!

No problem.... I wish someone let me know before I took mine off... not that it would have changed anything... but those holes were a huge surprise ...palepainter wrote:I know exactly what you are talking about. I am leaving them on, but thanks for the heads up.
