  1. Thanks Stephen, I really enjoyed the whole project, although my fingers were a little worst for wear after twisting all that wire.
  2. thanks Pat, it was a really enjoyable build and went together really well.
  3. thanks Adrian, Ive got to admit I really like building original Airfix kits, I find they go together really well with a bit of fettering. if the bombs and the tractor were there I probably wouldn't have used any extra bits.
  4. thanks Cliff, Always good to get a galley entry, then a few figures to finish off from a project I did last year before I start the next Group Build
  5. Cheers Tony, it was a great build, its definatly been a talking point at my local club. thanks John, I hadn't realised the heritage until your post, very interesting back story of the family and all the aircraft they brought .
  6. Airfix Stirling with Eduard masks and bomb bay with Barracuda Studios SBC. painted with Atom paints.
  7. it certainly is Mike, and improved engines it would have perhaps carried on bombing longer? Unfortunately the kit was missing the bomb tractor. now to add the transfers/ decals, I’ve had them in the window to try and reduce the yellowing. Wasn’t sure if they would survive contact with the water so got a Xrtadecal set on standby. unfortunately the transfers had seen better days and the roundal broke up.
  8. Your Target for tonight is…. nearly there just the cowlings and the decals. as @TonyW mentioned in a previous post, now they are all painted and in it send a slight chill down my spine. Bomb load, loaded. 2x 500lb 1x 1,000 lb 18x SBC
  9. I was going to use the kits inner doors until I tried them with the SBC loaded, the problem was the kit parts were a little thick. I had been putting this job off as they looked a little fiddly especially bending and turning the etch. There was no mention of the size of the rod, luckily the florist wire I had knocking about did the trick.
  10. it’s starting to look like a bomber, I painted the fuselage today and repainted the bomb load yesterday
  11. started to get the paint on. I’m using Ammo’s new Atom paints. Unlike the original Stirling, the underside has had a coat of paint. It’s the first time I’ve used blu Tac worms for the camouflage.
  12. thanks Tony, having the payload all laid out really does put it into prospective, maybe more so with my choice of load. well today I did a couple of hours and got the fuselage together. In the week I used Green Stuff’s UV clear resin to do the glazing on the fuselage, looks really good I think. I also sprayed the Bomb bay in the week and sprayed the payload today. the wings are not glued in as this will help with painting.
