  1. Fitted a floor to the cockpit. Popped the engine nacelles on, wings on and a bit of putty. I sometimes use a subtle blend of Tamiya putty with Revell liquid glue. This method thins out the putty and helps it flow a bit better.
  2. Wings and tail on and a bit of puttying. I have measured the wingspans on the 1/72 kit is 240mm which makes it N.A.D 1/72 scale. The 1/79 is 218mm which is N.A.D. 1/79 scale.
  3. Hopefully this Milliput sets. Hopefully it will then be grindeable Time to stick wings on too. Would like to get this done by my club's meeting at the end of the month
  4. The reason the Milliput felt a bit odd id because it was the wrong mix. I have a bunch of Milliputs on my workbench and combined two of the same type components and as a result it didn't cure ! Now literally wiped off and ready for round two. Just popping by my LMS to pick up a fresh batch
  5. But the question has to be asked "Will the Daleks use Vimy engines to invade the Earth?"
  6. Just started filling the cockpit hence the back wall Have cleaned the plastic plugs on the bottom of the nacelles It never ceases to amuse me the difference in size between the two Mk 1 Bristol Blenheims made by Frog
  7. Decided to get the fuselage together And a bit of Milliput on the floats. It was feeling a bit odd so got the best shape and will then dremel the bejeezers out of it
  8. Bit off topic. Was the article about the ‘Kinema’ an electronic projection such as the Kinema at the Festival of Britain. I only say this as I am a TV history academic and researching the reaction to viewing what we call Cinematelevision
  9. Dennis, I can only simply echo what others have said. My condolences. Excellent model. Your build has been very informative to me as I build the same kit. 🤗Adrian
  10. Tony, for me that is a triple WOW. I very much like old kits which is why I’m doing the Frog Blenheim from 1959. Your Battle looks fascinating- I’ve never seen one so please show us all 😊
  11. A bit more work today. Added a bit of plasticard just to blank off the view from the nose back into the aircraft The turret that comes with the kit is a bit pointy and frankly embarrassing. I managed to grab a flatter top one from the parts box and adapt the turret base to fit I had to open the hole a bit and dry fitted the assembly so that it could be in the semi-retracted position as seen in the photograph a few posts back
  12. Rubbed the skis down to make the Milliput filling holes smooth with rest of surface. Just need more Milliput to the back
  13. Did a little bit of work on the kit today. Decided to plug the holes for undercarriage so that it can be on a stand 'flying'. Stretched sprue cut off is useful. being of the same plastic it should be easy to cut off and rub down. I did the same on my 1/99 scale Frog Hampden And of course if it is flying it will need some crew. These chaps on the right are sort of to scale, compared to the 1/72 scale chaps on the left 🙂
