Thanks Stuart.

Got the flight deck and island masked. I'll paint the grey soon.

That is quite a bit of masking! Looks good.

Just in case people ask, the flight deck is masked because the sides (there's ladders there) and some areas underneath need to be painted grey.

Got the grey primer painted today. I'm going to assemble a lot of it then paint the light grey soon.

Gluing the flight deck to the hull. Using lots of clamps!

And a good strong hot glue as well I hope!

Tamiya Extra Thin as usual.

Lots of sub-assemblies about to go on.

So whoever designed the way this kit goes together needs help. The areas under the elevator openings (the part that the exacto knife is on) have to be crammed into openings behind the other parts. Took me forever to get the first one in straight.

Classic case of overengineering in the molds...
