No way Zak.
Bring it along, there will always be space for it.
We were a little sparse of models at the last meet.
We could always put Neil and Chris in the little room, so would gain a table. hohoho

The actual size when completed will be 34 inches by 24 inches. The left had board will be a part of the orchard, grass and trees still to be added.
I need to add some plants to the garden.
Then general rubbish will need to be added.

Is it too big for a club night?

If you need the accurate info it was the bios battery on the motherboard that failed and then corupted the bios - BUT I feel better with "Zombietus" - hohhoho
Makes me feel much better knowing that - What?

A little update.
Today I removed the masking from the nose sensor turret. I then sanded back the clear plastic part to ensure it sat flush with the turret sensor recess. I then gently polished the clear part with gradual finer grades of sanding stick, until I reached the polishing stage (White side of the polishing stick). Within a short time a nice clear glass like surface was achieved.
I also added the missing radome's and ariels off the upper surface.
Next job will be painting the upper surfaces. Thanks for looking,
Kevin

Thanks chaps, most appreciated.
Well today after the nose light sprues have fully set hard, I cut off the excess sprue. I trimmed by scalpel as much of the sprue as I could, then I took some sanding files of differing grades and sanded back the remaining sprue standing proud of the nose contours. Once satisfied that they were as close as I could expect, I took a Polishing sanding stick and did a final sand down before I then used the polishing side (White) to restore the clarity of the exposed clear part.
The result is a clear light cover with a hint of silver inside.
Next job, work on the cockpit.
Thanks for looking,
Kevin
