I am back working on this fine kit.

 

some things I learnt from clone builds carried across - thighs need widening - so split, extend and smooth

yep - that was the plan - as mentioned before - this was a 2nd hand side, so the back seam was already glued together. I thought that if I was gonn ahve to mod to get the thighs to fit, then I would open on the inside, where the join would be the least noticeable

 

completed and painted now:

if you angle it just right, with the lighting just casting a shadow, you can see the join
