Very very nice, Jim. I have fallen far behind here so I’m trying now to catch up. Just read thru your entire log. This is really impressive. Outstanding build.

Thank you for the comments :-D

Just a wee update to this build; I managed to split the canopy in two (straight down the middle!) during the build as some of you will know :sad: . I contacted Special Hobby to ask for a price for a replacement, and didn't hear a peep back from them. It was on my to do list when I get 'aroundtoit' when out of the blue, a replacement canopy arrived in the post from Special Hobby, free, gratis and for N'owt. Excellent service, and once I have painted the frame to suit (oh why didn't I write down which paints I used.... :frown: ) it will assume position on the rest of the model.

I like service like that! Image
Best wishes

Great service like that always deserves a mention, Jim and it's good news that your Tempest will now have an undamaged canopy on it 8-)
