There will be people beating a path to your door for a pair of those wheels!

Have you done the front pair as well?

You don't realise how poor some kit wheels are, until you see a comparison like this.

Love the flats and bulges🌟🌟🌟

I hope not Rob so far these are the only ones in existence, I've not done anything with the front ones as the ones in the CA kit are ok, unlike the Airfix ones.

This thread might just persuade me to get the stalled Mach RB-57F build out of its hiding place.

Good info on the landing lights which I didn't know about.

Those wheels really look the part

Go on, you know you want to! :)

Hello,John - A big step forward indeed.She’s looking superb and the way you’ve formed the engine intake sections is particularly commendable.

Great work as always!

All the very best,Paul.😉👍

Thanks Paul, it's kind of you to say regarding the rosette, don't know about that, I've used up my flook quota for this decade.

Looking really good. There are not that many aircraft that have a black and white colour scheme and none like the B-57d.

 

Thank you, I agree, it is such a simple scheme, yet it looks very attractive.

That looks absolutely stunning in that black and white finish

Thanks Roger, I can't wait to get the markings on now.
