Hi All,
Another change of tack. I thought of having a go at a more modern offering and have always wanted to do a Drone.
So I bought the Kinetic MQ-9 Reaper kit, which I think is actually from the Skunkworks moulding, and was also re boxed by Revell.
This Kinetics go at it and is nicely moulded in Grey and Clear plastic. It also has a really nice decal sheet with lots of options for Reaper UAV's operated by numerous countries. 
The wingspan is quite impressive, being about two and a half times that of a single engined WWII aircraft. At the moment I have done some basic assembly of the wings and navigation lights. I have also added the undercarriage bays and some plasticene/lead pellets to the fuselage bottom.
The way the model is moulded you would be able to see up and through the engine intake/exhaust, so to prevent this I have blanked off the rear of the undercarriage bay with plastic card and painted it very dark grey, no other detail just the blanking plates on the fuselage and engine assemblies.
The engine intake has some mould sink marks on the inside, both upper and lower. To fill these I used thick superglue and talc mixed together, allowed to harden naturally then it just sands/carves down as plastic to leave a nice smooth blemish free finish.
Prop goes together nicely, just a minimum of filling to do here. The engine pod needs a little work the upper seam needs to be tidied up with some filler and some panel line added where it fades out across the uppers.
Have done a quick dry fit and all looks like it will go together happily with little need for filling.
Some pictures follow:-
Thanks for looking.

That'll keep you busy.

And out of trouble.........??

The farmhouse is looking good Dave aswell as the figures. When you've finished Wellington's army you'll be able to start on Napoleon's.

Zak doesn't need that sort of encouragement.....He's probably already thought about it!

A most enjoyable day.
Plenty of laughs and banter. Actually got some modelling done.
Big thanks to Lisa and Nigel for attending, and for the samples and demonstration.
Thanks to Msea and Dave for taking and posting photo's of the day.
Next time can we have a picture of 'Milo' who seems to enjoy the day as much as we do.

What colour is rubbish........?
I'm sure the Msea touch will be the answer.
Kevin

I'm sure you will do that interior justice Chris.

Super Glueing his Fingers together will probably work.......

Thanks for taking and posting the pictures. A good night and got the AGM done as well.
