Spraying interior green and putting main gear together. Yawn.
For what it is worth, I went back and found the original WIP and merged it. For some reason the images from Postimage had become bad links. It sure is a PITA to go back and recreate them. So, this thread grew by 8 pages of lively, witty repartee and conversation. Back to the bench.

Did someone fix your Postimage links? They seem to be working now, except this one from your post on 1/11/2017LyleW wrote:Spraying interior green and putting main gear together. Yawn.

At some point in time, Postimage change its server address from *.org to *.cc. So all you have to do is modify any broken photo links and change *.org to *.cc. If I do that to the link above, I can see the photo below...

One thing occurs with the adventures I have in modeling. I don't fear cutting into a model to fix (or try to fix) something. I also need to read the instructions more carefully. I thought I was being cute by gluing up the nacelles on this beastie. Wrong-o-reeno! I discovered pieces/parts that must be in place prior to that step. So out came the saw.


Then, I heard a part hit the floor. An advantage of laminate flooring. this isn't a tiny part....but it is long gone at this point. Traced a new one and we are back in bidness.

You blooming vandal you!
I have an idea about your window idea. Just drill a few bullet holes in the frame around it and tell people it's been shot out
