So far so good......
But here is the trouble spot. The main undercart doors consist of four pieces which basically only have each other to cling to. I just couldn't make it work and so gave up and stuck a single piece of plastic card in the gap. Only enemy AA gunners will ever notice and they'll be too busy. And it's a 'working ' wargames model anyway.

I once spoke to an American aircraft restorer who was exhibiting a Starfighter to a bunch of American Scouts.
'This airplane' he said 'is called a lawn dart by some'.
I said 'Where I come from it's called a Widow Maker'. He wasn't very pleased.

Silly chap. He obviously hadn't figured out why it was called a lawn dart!
I have a bit of sympathy for him and his kind. Obviously an ex-services mechanic of the same generations as his aircraft, B-17 up to an AV8A having to deal with 'young' citizens not long out of nappies.
His museum/workshop was wiped out in a 2006 tornado and he didn't have the motivation to start again.
The starfighter always reminds me of a federation pursuit ship from Blake's 7 (back in the day - young 'uns will have no idea what I'm talking about).
Mind you, knowing the BBC effects department, bits of it probably did end up in there!
Great fix. Practical!

Ouch! And exhibits like those wouldn't be easy to replace.

I have to say that Blake's 7 passed me by - and I'm in the right age bracket for it!

Nothing will stand in the way of the Luftwaffe....
