Excellent.
BTW. What is the allure of the green mats with the ruled lines? I don't get it. I see all of the non-US folks with them.

Nice progress! It's looking good.
Matt, they're cutting mats, I need one so I don't destroy my kitchen table, I don't have the luxury of a dedicated modelling area.

Matt, we couldn't use those cutting mats anyway...they're metric!

Thanks you guys. I must finish her before Christmas (hoping there will be something really nice under the tree... something plastic!)

It is a self-healing cutting mat, not only protects your table (there isn't much left to protect anyway...), but it helps keeping your hobby knife sharp. Down here you find them in different colors and systems (metric or imperial). I find the green one the best because it gives a nice contrast against light colored plastic pieces. For green or dark color kits (e.g. Tamiya's Zero A6M5c) there is a light-pink one.
As for the kit, it is beautiful. At first I was a little scared (I kind of have a "made in China" PTS). But this model is well done. Except for the rear wheel pit and the buttom part of the nose, the fit is almost perfect.
The gun turrets and the engines are real model-candy.

Excellent Wellington J'Gon! Coming on very nicely.
Matt, those mats are available in imperial measurement, normally from graphics supplies stores, from A4 up to A1 sizes. I keep forgetting I've got my ex-print industry one (American made), and I've never used the measurement grid anyway!
I'll either have to start using it, or buy a new desk, the trenches from scalpel cuts are getting rather deep!
