I had a little accident and dropped a part, the cockpit tube (which is quite heavy due to parts of it being made of PVC), which was only tacked on with superglue, fell off...falling only about less than 2 foot and smashed the cockpit frame.
I repaired it, but looking at posted photos, it doesn't look the way it did, gonna have to fix it
Got Radar Dish bracket made
Thanks for looking

Wow thanks for the comments guys,
Some comparisons with the FineMolds kit:
I've repaired the frame on the cockpit....so hopefully....no more accidents
New Turret frame....the good thing about working on these two kits together is that I can borrow ideas from one to the other...gonna scratch a gunner station based on the FM one:
I have attached the two scratched access bays near the rear of the ship:
After fitting these parts I realised that the lighting box I had made for the engines now wouldn't fit any more...so I had to dismantle it and make it fit.
Now with a smaller lighting box I have started making an interior for a cargo hold....(the open area which was originally designed for storing batteries on the first issue of this kit)
I'll hopefully make a cargo ramp/lift like the one in the Haynes manual:
I've been able to use some parts I had discarded off this kit like the old sidewalls for the interior:
The piece doesn't look straight in this photo but its not glued in yet, to allow me to fit the lighting box:
Thanks for looking
