This looks like it will end up in the bin. Started to place the glass in to the fuselage sides

. The sliding window glass isn't the best, ill fitting and has cracks in them.

The front foot well glass fits but there is a large gap at one end

and the main fuselage glass doesn't fit to well

BIN BIN BIN.

That's shame buddy, but you must prevail!
You will handle it, I'm sure!

I am gutted. I will bounce back with something I have stashed away. A little diorama with a Mi-8

Sorry to hear about the mishap with the canopies. Looks like your ready to get back into the SIG with another entry. Awesome attitude, dude!

Really gutted Tony, it was coming on nicely as well.

Glad to hear you're sticking with the SIG though!!

Tonygol · Post by **Tonygol** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 1:53 pm

Resin parts ordered and on way. I will crack open the box later on. Will need to sort the base out.

Oh fun.....

Did you paint the instrument panel or is that a decal? Either way, looks pretty good!

Tonygol · Post by **Tonygol** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 7:53 pm

I used the decals that came with the kit. They were a little thick.

Such great progress. Have you thought about using the kit for a
"Black Hawk Down" crash diorama?
