One's blue and one's silver. I like the contrast 🙂

Oh, sorry. I didn't see the hinges on the blue model 🙂

Hasn't that hinge bothered anyone else?

Prior to your elegant solution, not really. However, now that you've produced...
... a much better alternative I'm paying more attention.

Thank you, Marlowe. Considering your skills, I will take that as compliment.

Darn.. it might have helped me if I had that model

Eric, I'm sorry for my sarcastic reply! You've done one he## of a fine job in thinning down those supports and filling in the space between. Also detailing the screw / rivet heads from the hinge to the hood is well done. Thanks for posting pics of your handiwork! I consider this an inspiration for all us collectors to improve upon our models.

I, too, have a few WIP with various models but since changing jobs last year they've been put on the back burner. I hope to be able to complete them soon and post pics. Thanks for posting your improvements!
