It seems you are seriously afflicted with the 'scratchbuilding' bug now, though I have to warn you that once bitten there is no known cure! You will never be able to build a kit straight out of the box anymore!
I know .... I've been trying to build something OOB for decades now and I still haven't managed it!!  
Kev
Thanks Kev ye i know what you mean i can`t remember the last time i built OOB  quite scary that Regards Phil COMING SOON =1/72 Italeri diorama`s Battle for the Reichstag and Stalingrad battle at the tractor factory 1/16 Trumpeter King Tiger with loads of extras ON THE GO= refurbishment of 1/25 Tamiya tiger 1 , amt Star trek kits and space 1999 models

Top job Phil, really enjoying this build and have to say this is going to be museum quality when finished with all of that amazing detail being added. It looks as though you're not missing anything!
Looking forward to your next update already!
