Boo! Still always next month. A bit more progress, finished the rear stowage bin and added the chain to the pin holding in the hex spanner.

A real beauty! Love the scratch built detail.

Got a bit more done today, the mantlet cover fittings done. Unfortunate run out of 0.6mm rod to finish it.

The club meet is this weekend! Been promising to have it done before then so I better deliver! Getting the right shade is going to be interesting, got two shades as a starting point and can tweak from there. I'll be testing some ak interactive pigments on this too
