Getting ready for my model club's first group build 'Harrier'. Oct 1 - Dec 31. I washed my 1/48 Airfix GR3 kit. Something I sometimes do with time before the build starts. Oh FEK, there's no front canopy. Checked Ebay, nowt. Checked Hannants, nowt. Checked Scalemates, nowt.

Emailed Airfix, worth a try but not hopeful. Put a thread on Flory Forum under 'Wanted' So I might as well rinse and dry the rest of the kit. Only went and found the front canopy. ๐Ÿ˜ณ FFS.

Got this just about finished. Was doing a little final assembly. Got a fingerprint in the bonnet and a lesser one in the roof. ๐Ÿคฌ Sanded back and sprayed the red paint then gloss varnish later. Put the bonnet back in place again and only done the same again. ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ™„

Good evening all fellow Blueskyers. I finally got some photos of the my finished GT40. Not a perfect kit but it builds into a fine looking motor. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to try a car model and maybe a little bit of practice masking. Cheers all. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ #histscalemodels #buildthestash

Early morning update: I did not like the balance between the windows and the rest, they felt a bit out of place. So I gave them more weathering. I am far more happy with this! #histscalemodels
