Thanks everyone for the comments - it's nice to hear that my problems are not just individual to me. Thanks for the tip about the jar seal Jason..... I have managed OK for now by putting a coat of Vaseline onto the sealing ring before tightening up - I've heard of other people converting the WTC front section tray to a larger thread and using a wingnut - maybe version three will have a stronger thread system - but I don't mind doing my own mods if they work out OK in the end. Here are a couple of pictures of the model painted - these have been taken with a proper camera, the early one on here was just done with a webcam - hope these come out on the web OK. Swt rvge.


regards to all.
