Gecko Radar

Today I've been cracking on with the radar for the model. I've altered the mount as in the kit you can only show the radar in the travel position with it pointing to the rear. A simple matter of carefully cutting the upper mount in half then adding a plastic shim followed by drilling a couple of holes and adding a suitable bit of rod to mount it. 

With that done the rest of the assembly went together with no issues and a bit of cabling and plastic card where also added to enhance the detail. The front array was also tackled and here instead of using the kit mounting rods I drilled out from the rear then inserted plastic rod and then adjusted them for the correct standoff before glueing in place. Once dry I'll clean up the rear of this and add some bolt heads.
