Do you have a pic of this stuff? I found it (maybe) once and can’t find that one again. I’ve not been happy with the Testors or Krystal Klear...jeaton01 wrote:

Re: MV Colombo Express 1/700 Revell Germany
Not a great update coming, but it is moving. I've discovered that my precision work is not up to their precision design in some cases. Anyway, cool, calm and collected I've gotten all but a few bits of the accommodation/bridge block together and then filled any gaps with PPP using toothpicks and a #11 blade. When dry, the #11 blade and a sanding stick took care of the cleaning. As you might guess a few pieces just went "poof". Really. There were here and then, "poof".....they were not here. Scratched what I needed. Looks okay.. Gray primer is on. Painting this rascal and the railings are next. Can't wait.

Thanks, Mike! Give Ed a treat from me.
This little assembly has around 20% or more of the kits parts count in it. Over 50.

Nice work on the superstructure 50 pieces on that assembly?! Wow! That is an invitation for things to go wrong. Looks like you did just fine.

50! Wow - that's a lot of parts for a bridge and in 1/700 I would have fed the carpet monster for sure. I want to see all those containers done up Lyle!
Thanks,
