Marc,
Glad to see you working on another AMK kit.
Great job on the pave pod I'm glad to see a good application for the UV glue.

Thanks guys

Gaz, I keep finding things to do with this stuff. Along the same line as the Pave Pod, I drilled out and added some aluminum tubing to the front of the Python 3 missiles and a cure a drop of the UV glue on the end and, Bob’s your uncle… seeker heads. Later i'll post how I made the head light for the nose gear.

That missile looks great! Certainly better with your seeker head than black paint.

Ok done. Well nearly done. The last shot I took was of the bottom and it wasn’t until I looked at the pics on the PC that I decided it needs to streaking and dirt commensurate with a desert bird. I fixed the camo on the right side connecting the brown and running the middlestone up the fuselage a bit more.

Also… I give myself a major flip off. During one of the paint session I started to lose my grip in the Jimhole stick and I caught it as it went down but there was a thumb on the edge of the spray booth. A careful inspection and I felt I dodged a huge bullet. Nope. If you look close to the right side of the windscreen that plastic had majors crackage.

And boy howdy this is a great kit.
