This build is a real departure from the safety of what I have learned over the years, Its quite exciting and I look forward to getting on with the build when I am doing other things. I need my brain working at 100% because trying to overlay the Revell instructions and the Pontus “instructions” ( i use the word loosely) is mind boggling, mainly because Pontus have replaced about 50% of the Revell parts so the Revell instructions are meaningless, and partly because a lot of the Revell parts have Pontus parts added so none of the location points match. This compounded by the lack of Pontus instructions on specific positioning of parts, for example does a wall sit on the floor or butt up against the side of the floor ? and so on. Painting is also a conundrum as most floors are dark grey and walls are white and as most superstructure in more than one level you have a grey white grey white sandwich going on with very small parts which means these parts have to be painted before assembly, nearly all walls are different colours either side. I have mixed the colours for the hull , The white is basic insignia white, the blue is a mix of azure blue and light blue and the green is sky and interior green ( all basic aircraft colours)
