Philo, building paper models is a great excercise and it can potentially get your model building skills way up. The trick to it is to imagine how the parts go together basing on drawings, photos and so on. Then you cut them out and shape (bend) them - hold your glue! Try to dry fit your parts until you are positive what goes where, all the lines and colours line up and so on. This is pretty important so repeat it two or three times. Just when you are positive about the fit of the part - just then it's time to glue the part.

Did you try looking up some WIPs? That could help you a lot, IMO.

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

Yep again clear instructions would have prevented the serious mistake I made!I am not sure that I can remove and correctly 're- position the canopy without destroying it.

Hi Pawel ;

 Now you get an idea of what I like in ships .1/400 isn't my favorite , but their kits are very straight-forward if you pay attention ! Polish , No Way ! German  ,yeah , mostly , My German is what a friend calls Germanisch Technisch !

 I can read it to myself and understand exactly what it means ! Try and tell someone what a word is , No Way ! That's why Whilemshaven ships and planes , plus Schreiber's stuff , never puzzled me .

 I do know this . I have No Idea where I picked it up either ! If I run into something I will call upon your offer . and Thank You in advance !  T.B.
