The Mohawk is almost there now and the Ki-102 will to start to get its canopy framing done next trip to the bench. Real world interferes for the next couple of days however.

I've spent rather a bit of time down our local hospital for various reasons over the last couple of weeks, whence not much modelling done, and it wasn't until I was chatting with a nurse this morning that I realised the NHS is 70 on Sunday. I always thought it was 1948, but it was 1950, so it was 2 when I was born

Well the Mohawk is finished  I've struggled a bit with it for various reasons. Not the kit's fault, purely me. Just have to get used to the fact I have bad days  and slightly better days  . Can't build to the standard I was 2 years ago let alone 5 and I was never more than an average modeller. Still I do still enjoy the hobby which is the important thing
