<strong>The</strong> young Angel was then glued to her seat and some seat belts added from thin lead foil held in place with<br />
Gator’s Grip acrylic adhesive. I couldn’t believe these were actually finished in deep pink – it so clashes with<br />
the colour of the seat cushions. Small pieces of fine plastic rod were attached to the shoulders of her flight suit<br />
and painted in white and gold. Here collar and cuffs were finished in gold with brown oil paint as shading.<br />
Now the time came to assemble the pilot and instrument coaming into place. <strong>The</strong> agony was not over for the<br />
pilot, as I temporarily had to lop off her arm and fix in place later. Still, she did not complain and took it all in<br />
her stride – very stoic these Angels.<br />
<strong>The</strong> instrument decal supplied in the kit was used on the coaming.<br />
A few final touches were made and I am now ready to attach the canopy.<br />

If anybody was inspired by Barry Sharman’s Flower class corvette here is an opportunity:<br />
Hi Tony,<br />
I was given your address by Phil Butler. I’m looking for someone to undertake a commission and he<br />
said you had more ship modellers in your group than he had in his. I’ve promised a friend of mine that<br />
I would arrange for a model that he started many years ago to be completed. It’s the Matchbox 1/72<br />
Scale Flower Class Corvette, plastic with a brass fittings kit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> model is largely completed but not to a good standard. I’m looking for someone that can finish it<br />
off to high standard.<br />
If you have any members that can help I’d appreciate you putting me in touch. I live in Chichester but<br />
I’m happy to drive over to your part of the world.<br />
Regards,<br />
Adrian<br />
