Yes, transferring „evidence“ from elsewhere is what I meant.
I do not know whether this was collateral damage from a US attack or not.
I categorically reject any suggestion that this was an intentional US attack aiming at killing school kids.

Tomahawk circuit boards could be found all over the place from day one.

Iran had plenty of time and opportunity to produce such „evidence“. Neither side can be trusted.

Ws the photo with the aircraft slices taken at MAI?

When I visited in 1996 or so, they had an exquisite collection of aircraft components and parts, and a stripped down MiG-23 with fully workable swing wings and landing gear.

Nice! I find the lighting in Hendon is challenging in places. Not only dark, but what little light is there has a funky yellow or purple tinge. 🫣

Indeed. But if they smell unusual, they‘ll get tossed. 🙂

All neatly stored…50 years worth of Humbrol, Revell, Gunze, ModelMaster, Vallejo.
I keep paint associated with work in process stashed away with them.

Credible reports that ginormous Russian LNG (liquid natural gas) tanker Arctic Metagaz is on fire in Mediterranean. Reports suggest it was hit be a USV (uncrewed surface vessel)

Whether Iran linked or Ukraine, very big implications for Russian war effort

Back to the instrument panels…should be 6 bezels wide, but the kit cockpit is too narrow, so five must do. I used 0.13mm Evergreen sheet, still too thick, I‘ll try sanding the bezels down a bit.
Could have drilled holes instead, but I wouldn‘t have managed to align them.

I think I can live with that. All to be blended in now.

I coated the rod with Tamiya Extra Thin five times, waiting about 20 seconds between applications. This softens the rod to the core. Once the surface is dry to the touch, it can be carefully bent. For small radii you need a tool to bend around.

A coat of primer for a first surface quality check. A bit of rework to be done here and there.
Challenge remaining: Properly rounded inlet lips…
