Hi again

Onwards and downwards! In my usual haphazard building style, I've started playing with filling the seams on the top wing:





I've used Deluxe Materials "Perfect Plastic Putty" - which, of course, isn't "perfect" (what is?), but does do an excellent job - and is water-solluble, so it doesn't risk damaging the surrounding detail.

A bit of sanding was required to level the sections in places, and a coat of Humbrol enamel primer shows there's little more work to do, but is quite encouraging, nevertheless - this was the one part of the build that rang a few alarm bells for me because, no matter how well WNW engineered it, it's an awkward joint in an exposed position.

All the best

On the engine cylinders, are the pushrods molded on or did you attach separate rods? these are the options on the Hannover.

Hi Tom

As I started out trying to keep this one basically OOB, I followed the instructions and used the moulded-on set. They're very crisp (as you'd expect with a WNW kit) but, now I've decided I can't bear not to at least add some ignition wires, I've blown my "OOB" idea anyway. I'd go for adding separate push-rods if I were to do it again - they'd only take a couple of ticks and would look superior.

I've finally got a bit of time free this weekend, so I hope to make a bit of progress once I've caught up with reviews etc.

All the best

Rowan
