So tonight it was a bit like a Barry Manilow concert in here…

After two days of gales, on the nice calm day following, we have the power cut. Personally I reckon a starling sat on the power line and caused one of the damaged poles to give up the ghost.
Needless to say I didn’t try out painting by candle light, I mean I could have tried it, but chose discretion instead. I did however, get to fondle my new toys!
Evidently these are the instructions and painting reference!

Oi! I hates when the power goes out! I’m kinda surprised we didn’t lose it today with the torrential rains we had today “way down in Dixie”! Anyway, all the 1/35 scale box sets have the instructions and painting guides on the back of the box. I used the assembly guide to help, but the painting guides are generally trash. Find a historic reference and paint away! Looking forward to seeing them in a diorama!

Cheers Eric, I am looking forward to doing them. I reckon there will be quite a bit of dry fitting going on before any glue is used 😉

when you do dry fit, remember to look back at the box, most of the time some of the bad gaps are covered by equipment of some other bit, but they fall together!

My wife went to the local aquarium centre at the weekend, and they had a power cut there, so there’s a lot of it about.
Don’t you love assembly instructions that consist of a photo!
Cheers Roger.

I was a bit surprised at how scarce the instructions were, lots of dry fitting I think.
