Time for a small update. Marker lights. Tried several times to install kit clear lenses. Didn't work. So not having any other options, I goy creative. White glue ! Drys clear, right ? Very time consuming because I had to layer it for correct shape (kind of). After dry, painted with clear red/green. The ones on tails, I left clear because they are white. PB is being a PITA today, could only load 1 pic. But this gives you an idea. Thanks for stopping by.......Harv

Looks good to me Harv ... Hang in there she's nearly done

Well boys and girls, one more puzzle piece is done. I have the wing landing light done. I white glued a 2.4 mm mv lens to the clear part and install. It was almost a snap fit, one of the better fit pieces of the kit !. So onward and upward. Getting closer......Harv

Another update, Front canopy done. I think it came out alright. Let me know what you think......Harv

 

[moon puppy]

Might want to check some of that interior green on the canopy Harv, looks like your inside mask might have leaked. The Supercharger is fantastic!

 

[dirtball]

Thank you sir ! I think what you are seeing is some small scratches and the light is playing with it......Harv
