Looks like one of those builds were every thing goes wrong. But nice work so far, turning a bad kit into something decent. Keep it up.

Happy enough with the final result and with some weathering I should be able to to hide most of the imperfections and now just let it dry until tomorrow and then Alclad aqua gloss.
