Thanks, a bit of work, the fit is crap. I over glued on purpose and puttied up the rest of the gaps. All trimmed and sanded, paint will show what I missed.

Well it's landed, first impressions are good details with little flash. Bit disappointed it has no pilots. Pantherman

That is extremely kind of you but I think the postage would probably be a fortune.

I will have a look about to see if I can get something here in the UK. If not......

I was being sarcastic because the pilots that came with the Revell kit are horrible and I would give them away.
It would almost be better without the pilots but since they came with I'm using them.

I thought you made a good job of them considering how terrible they were.

I might give the pilots a miss anyway as the DDay build had so many of them with full kit that I think I need a rest from figure making and painting. Pantherman

Any leftover pilots from a previous 1/48 build? Might be able to modify them, incredible what a bit of putty and sandpaper can do.

I agree, they look like lumpy people, but we do the best we can.

Great idea, I will have to take a look through the 1/48 drawer. Pantherman
