That's looking really good Stick - and nice to see a bit of extra detail being added to the interior!

funny, what with me building a Mig, and seeing you build this I went out and picked up a copy of 'Red Storm Rising; over the weekend as I fancied reading an old Cold War Thriller...

Thanks Port. I am walking a fine line here between adding extra detail, and not getting carried away...

Ah, "Red Storm Rising"... Still one my favorite novels...

Just some minor progress today- I attached the water channeling louvres to the rear of the upper hull side skirts.

I go back to work tomorrow, so no progress photos likely until my next day off on Sunday...

Thank you Gino. Now I just need some free time to get back to the bench, and weather where I am not drenched in my own sweat while sitting and working...

Looking very good, Stik. Get yourself a portable bench and take it with you! I'm sure the Captain won't mind.............. :hmm:

I took several photos of my work a couple weeks back, but since PB was down that day I could not get them uploaded. Life intervened in the mean time so here is the scratch work I did for the drivers compartment, as well as the jerry can racks for the rear hull fenders
