Update for you. Having been reminded that this build had stalled I decided to do a bit more. Think I was putting off having to remove all the paint and varnish from the ailerons, small plastic part's, canopies, and PE.
Well I now have a little tip for everyone of what NOT to do.......don't forget that you have put all of the part's in brush cleaner for an hour, but actually leave them a week.
The PE came out sparkling but the rest is now a blended lump of plastic !!!!!!
Not really sure where I go from here as Airfix don't make the spares any more. I will have to have a bit of a think on this one but also happy for any ideas. Pantherman
