A little progress made.
The Ha 137 is now all washed and awaiting a slight change in the weather so I can get out on the balcony, quick wave at the adoring masses

, and get her primed. The He 100 has had the first p.s.r.session done and now needs some spot priming along the seams to check for what else is needed.
As these are at the, or almost at the painting stage I broke out a Hasegawa Ms406 to keep them company. Why this kit ? Well I had an idea for an Ms, so strike while you can still remember it

, plus I wanted something a little simpler as both of the others are proving a bit more like hard work than my recent builds. I know I've been spoilt by building a fair few new Airfix kits lately but the He 100 is an old MPM limited run and has taken a fair bit of work to get her to the stage she's at. It's not hard or difficult just lengthy in comparison to newer tools. The Ha 137 whilst a nice kit is resin and the work room is a bit chilly, thus super glue takes longer to dry/grab and getting the tiny winglets fitted was a right p.i.a.

So I thought the Ms 406 would be more relaxing. Got the kit down and found it had both an Eduard etch set, just the basic set, and old style vinyl mask. I will probably use a fair bit of the etch as the cockpit is quite a large exposed space, and besides I enjoy the detail work. I won't be using the instrument panel 3 piece however as I have the rather nice Yahu one piece set. Mr Hannant had a few of these at Telford and I snaffeled all those for which I had the appropriate kit. Great value pieces

Anyway here's the 406. The others are in the GB build page
