So, the B.A.M. Strikes again. Started the rigging and ran out of Zip Kicker Accelerator. Ordered some more but wont come till Friday, so on hold for the time being.

I cut some Albion Alloys 0.25 tubing to make some gun muzzles and connectors. But I may take the connectors back off to clean up.

Zip Kicker may not craze plastic, but it does fog clear plastic. I forgot school boy error. Wondering wether to abandon the project.

I've put the canopy on and it looks sort of okay. Still in two minds to abandon though.

I decided in the end to finish and post. But I have not done this kit justice due to school boy errors. As my end of term report use to state 'Could do better' I will revisit this kit and do it in the USMC Scheme at a later date. Comments and criticism always welcome.

Album info

Tamiya 1:48 in the US Navy Pacific Tricolour Scheme, depicting a Jolly Roger from VF17 on board the USS Bunker Hill. Engine wired, Primer done. Trying masking fluid for chipping effect, free handed the camo' first time (also on the Tiger too) quite a bit of overspray, but I think it turned out alright. Begun the weathering, may not use the masking fluid again, but stick to the hairspray method. The exhausts are positioned wrong (but I am doing it in flight and will position it so I don't see my abherrent mistake, so there Har, Har) and the pitot tube is not stock as the carpet monster ate it.

The Wife Chose it, She likes the colour scheme.
