Thanks so much Necronautdrummer and Glorfindel! Started on the side walls this afternoon, not much to report just some 'dulling' down with tamiya smoke. Pictures to follow shortly. Cheers  :)

She's done  ;D, managed to get the dish on and weathered, fixed broken landing gear  >:( (they just beg to be broken off when your handling it lol) side walls where given a coat of tamiya smoke then matted down with Vallejo matt varnish then rust marks highlited with Mig Rust Wash. This group build has been alot of fun and its given me that push to complete a shelved project. I'm happy with the outcome and have taken some final pics, hope you like it, enjoy!  :D

Very nice John!  As stated, she really does look bigger than the actual kit size.  A testament to the quality work!
