Doh! ....and congratulations on a great result!!

Do you have any pics of the Lanc build?

Thanks. I've got pics, but because it was featured in a magazine, they don't like them published elsewhere (the full build/review in this February's Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine). There are a few finished pics here:

I get the bases off EBay, they only cost a few quid, but I think make a big difference to the presentation of a model.

Finish the robot, finish the robot

It looks like it could be so different and interesting, that's the one I'm looking forward to you finishing the most (that said, all of your builds are awesome and I love reading about them).

Yes it just needs assembling & painting (hmmm, like most kits do); at least all the resin cast parts are finished.

The level of detail for a 1/72 kit is amazing. In fact it's superior to the new tool Airfix Zero.

That's no surprise really - In generalTamiya stuff has always been extremely good quality. Same with Eduard. Airfix new tool stuff seems compromised by their manufacturing.

Glazing masked up:

Are the canopy masks supplied with the kit or are they aftermarket?

They're aftermarket - Eduard.
