Dear friends, good morning Unfortunately I have to abandon this GB as, due to a big mistake on my part, I compromised the construction and coloring of the kit. I thank you all for the compliments and I'll see you at a future GB.................unfortunately it's not the first time I've abandoned a GB on Britmodeller, but we are human beings and we make mistakes ............. thanks again and see you soon Ettore ๐ก

Good morning I have to say I'm really enjoying this kit, it's certainly not all roses and flowers but in the end I'm getting it. The first step of this week was to close the fuselage and assemble the wings. Then I took the license to add similar geographical maps to the cockpit So, I improved the torpedo compartment with a mix of CMK resins and parts from the Airfix kit ...And finally I glued the wings, the moving tail parts and gave interior green color to the torpedo compartment........which I will soon work with a minimum of panel liner Ettore ๐ก

Good morning I'm back at work after a bit of a break. I worked on the cockpit, as you can see, giving it some color I apologize for the quality of the photos I took with my cell phone Ettore ๐ก

Good morning Finally I can show something! The idea of inserting a resin cockpit wasn't so good, because the amount of work has multiplied, but it's coming along well. First I marked off the areas to be eliminated with a small milled head mounted on the drill, an operation to be done delicately and carefully. Once this was finished he glued the two sides (left and right) of the pilot's cockpit with cyan glue, after drying I gave a coat of AK white spray primer. Then I continued with the central cockpit which is made up of many resin pieces to glue and then color And this is enough for today, the next step will be to continue the interior, apply the primer and finally the final color Ettore ๐ก

Good morning everyone For this beautiful first GB 2024, I chose an English plane that I love very much: an Airfix Bristol Beaufighter Mk.I. At the moment, my only aftermarket set to use is a CMK cockpit... later we'll see what I can add........Happy GB everyone Ettore ๐ก

The problems I encountered are always the same ones: gauge pins too small, assembly of the cockpit quite difficult and non-linear, decals too thick in relation to the positive riveting of the wings. I struggled a lot........but it's a nice kit, you just have to go beyond the instructions and follow your own Ettore -
