Cheers dude!

I love jets, but I must admit, the raptor has very little exterior detail to liven things up. Although the weapons bay is VERY busy, you just don't get to see it (hence the mirror base, lol!)
Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys!!!
@omi no issues at all, really good fit all round. Tiniest bit of filler on the vertical stabs, but that's all.
@Mikey I just used card masks, mounted on white tac blobs to raise them off the surface. I think there's a pic of it in the build thread.
Thanks again guys
