Is the canopy framing supposed to be all green? (I can't find a profile of that machine at this specific second.)

Not sure really Matt, now that the green is sprayed on it's simple to add any camo by brush. I'll have to check that

The ruin is amazing and will look great with that German predator you are building standing next to it.

Yes, you have to take a close look to see the crack though, a lot of fuss about about nothing IMHO.

October 16th update:
After having a great time romping round Holland and visiting some great restaurants along the way I am back at the workbench again.
Manu's parachute pack is ready for placing on the wing. Looks good, (Manu doesn't though, he would appear to have had a rough night at the local pub, "the Rogered Rabbit". Now he is standing next to his trusty mount ready for operation "Horny Gerbil"). The canopy has been duly adjusted, camo added:





The Tiffie is nearly finished, time to start building the dio.

Blimey, he must be hungover, he doesn't seem to have noticed the big hole in the other wing or the missing cowling!!

Seriously, that's a great figure. I assume that the ' chute is True Details.

Hi John,
no, the 'chute came with the figure. Just some scratched harness and buckles. That's all.

That is not quite what I meant, I've heard that the canopy has a sort of "lens" effect.
Other than that, it looks great

Oh that, yes, there is a small "dimple" on the port rear of the canopy. A quick dip in future and you don't notice it.

He looks suitably pale Daniel, probably an Olympic hangover
That seems to happen a lot at our virtual pub

Hi Russell,
the floaty thing is fun, getting me sidetracked again.

Nice naval "stuff" Julian, looking great !Your Tirpitz looks great too.
May this will "blew" some inspiration in my H.M.S Hood project again, my build actually last longer than the real thing.

Hi Bernd, thank you. The Tirpitz is a relic from the past. I learned a lot from the PE on that build though, best way to do it: hands on.
