Glad you're back on it, John.  I'm not sure what is "bad" on your picture above.  Couldja give ,me a little insight as I have this kit in my stash too.

Both the windscreen and armored glass are clear (of course). It is very difficult to attach the armored glass without the glue showing. I tried to hide it with a little paint but it just didn't work out satisfactorily. Glueing clear to clear is a bit difficult. I have it fairly well sorted out on the replacements now but it's still not "perfect".

I sure don't know where I was in January, I missed this completely, hence to all the 'likes' today........................ John, I'm with Gaz, I don't see anything 'that' bad, but I understand all your builds are damn near perfect, so a small glitch would bug you..................so I am watching with interest how you fix this little detail, and I will learn something good here....

I'm glad to see it back on the bench too John. Mine is probably about 75% done and has been that way for 10 years at least.

That's the plan. I'd lost one of the exhaust stubs but recently found some resin ones so hopefully I'll get it finished this year.
