MG Tallgeese EW: WIP Part 7 (Final)

Here it is, the final WIP for this kit, and while I love this model, it's been quite a pain in some areas, but more on that in the next post which will show finished pictures and have thoughts on the model.  Now for some pictures and the last one I'll have a brief description on what's going on there...

The next picture shows how fragile parts of the thruster pods really are.  As I was trying to clip this top part in the armor part just snapped in half and chipped off the yellow paint on the inside detail area.  Needless to say this completely frustrated me and I put it away for the night.  I will be trying to fix this as soon as I'm done with this post, hope I can at least make it look not as bad...
