partial update: my apologies for being in the background these days, just havin a bit of a problem. someone is messing my mind  and I'm using it as advantage to build instead of sulking in the corner. anyway onward with the build, have to wait for the glue to dry before I could continue. Scratchbuild Ice box, Antenna Stubs extra wire cutter  working on the rear light guard, work on the welds already done. door handles done, but need to work on the propeller since the fins won't fit, need to cut about 1mm to 2mm.  as always thanks for checking |

Thanks Carl and Luigi, Ok due to on-going absent mindedness and my stupidity due to my current situation, I forgot to the wiring for the smoke grenade and the adjustment of the propeller, to install the fins. 1st coat of primer to check on the defects and needed repairs before the 2nd coat of primer.    Cheers!! |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Hey Gary, may I'll try it on the challenger Thanks Brian ok a small update the swim gear need re-work, you need the cut the length of the propeller tube in order to fit the fins, initial fit the rotor head is peeking in-between the fins, I mean the fins not the legs, 2nd coat of primer, still need a quick re-sanding.  |

Don't you love primer? It helps us catch stuff that needs to be reworked on. Second picture looks GREAT!!! What did you use to fix' em? Pig legs I bet...

THanks, Carl, Marc and Big G!!! much appreciated The smell of Primer puts me on the momentum, Andy still need a lot polishing, I don't plan to hide the details I'll remove the excess putty then re-work on the crusted dust, so If a judge tried to remove the weathering he will see the base coat rather than the filler |

Well it just goes to show ER that even an ESCI kit can be salvaged with enough skill and determination.
Well done mate, stick at it.

and I'm using it as advantage to build instead of sulking in the corner. anyway onward with the build, have to wait for the glue to dry before I could continue. 
Great stuff buddy.
