Love the cockpit work and as you mentioned, looks busy. Floatplane version would be my choice 'cos I have lots of floatplanes to build.

Excellent work, looks fantastic. Those scenic pics are beautiful, very atmospheric.

With the paint going on, everything is being tied together and is looking great. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that starts a build and haven't checked that I have enough of everything to finish the damn thing.

Wonderful start Bertie. Definitely doing the wheels first was a good idea and like you, I was drawn to the WW1 option because of the wheels and the camo and also drawn to the WW2 option because of the open top. Choices, choices...

Interior is looking great, right amount of weathering...less is good.

You can always make your own with proper chain, like they use in ship builds...just sayin'.

'tis but a flesh wound, nothing that a bit of plasticard can't fix. Chassis looking good and everything looks like it's on the ground.

Wings are looking great but the fuselage looks fabulous.

Not sure if you'll remember,

 

Yes, I remember the conversation about the Heston & the 209 but unfortunately the faces become blurred after many faces. Thanks for your kind words about the models and the stand, glad we're doing something right. Yes, I managed to get round SMW, mainly on the Sunday though. As for 'Mr Awesome', it's got character and I'm having to work at it but not as much as that all-metal F6C.

Looking marvellous Bertie, very you.

I do like the scratch built body too.

Looking nice and busy. Like the added touches of missing panels & empty stowage's. Fitting snow chains to your tyres will be the 'ace in the hole'....

I have a Beaverette too but in 1/72, think it has less parts than yours! Will be interesting to see if you solder or CA those large PE seams...

Sweet. It may have been by the '190' but you can't help but notice the lines of a Mustang...with a Fw canopy. I do agree that the Planet parts are SOLID, my Saunders Roe will testify. All that aside, will be interesting to see how this builds.

Looks wonderful,  great work on the mould  and the fuselage sides look the part.  Cockpit details looking good too.

With social life and SMW out of the way, it's back to Awesome...

Wings go on. Wing roots need sorting but nothing to worry about though.

 

A new backplate was made out of plasticard and a metal shank fitted. The kit spinner was glued to the backplate to keep the length correct and plasticard fillets were glued to the kit spinner to take up space and keep some sort of profile before lathering on some filler. When sanding was required, the drill was clamped to the bench and fired-up... If this spinner is a fail, then I'll have to produce a 3D image and get a club member to print it, we'll see.
