Fantastic set of builds there. Care to give some more details on the Northrop N3PB please. Nice mancave too!

a/ My limited modelling skills still rates Modeldecal. b/ PM sent.

OK, so end of week one and maybe time for an update. Work on both kits is running along much the same lines with some cockpit detail addedand buttoning up of the fuselages. Firstly, work on the Gladiator: Next, the Fury: I did try to make some wheel spats but quickly discarded that idea! I've built this kit a couple of times previously and still find the upper engine covers fidgety. So now to see what week two brings............ Thanks for dropping in.

All that etch will keep you busy, even in 48th it's tiny. You must have good eyes.

Such a fantastic finish, and excellent progress to boot. Wish I could work as quick and as well.

That's a nice little kit, you'll have fun with that. Finished mine as a 3 sqn machine.

I'd be very interested to see pics of your display if you get the chance to post some. Sure others would too. Used to do a bit of "wreckology" myself.

Great family tie-in. Good luck with your build.

Just catching up with this one - well impressed at your speed of progress. Smart finish too.

Roger that!

Great build, excellent finish - stop putting us to shame!

Thanks for the pointer Robert. I already had an inkling about the fuselage cross section and this confirms it, although to my eye it's not that bad The cockpit is basic but roomy so I may try to throw some Eduard etch in there too. The kits have been sitting on the table for a few days now and I'm itching to get started.

"Scablifters"

Thinking this is just an opener perhaps, with one or two more impressive ones to come. After all it is a build up to celebrations.

Thanks Mark, that's an encouraging sign then.
