Cheers guys!
Thanks for the comments!
NEIL, I don't have that book.Can you show me those pictures?Sounds very interesting.
Paul, I hated them too, but I had to finnish it...so I had no choice.I have 4 models on my bech now and I just have to finish one before more of them appear.
Thanks Andy for letting me know.I just assumed that those blocks where ERA blocks.My mistake.
If you say so, I'll go with that barracuda camo net.
Yes Russell, the fittings are pretty bad in my case too but nothing that can't be fixed with putty.
Thansk again for the comments!Fingers crossed for the antislip and painting.

I used a roll of bandage.Set it into place with water and white glue.After, I used scissors to cut small pieces of paper (2-3mm) and attached them with the same solution.Then painted it with a brush.
