I will get a start on this one soon, I have a couple of others on the bench that are more of a priority

I am slowly sorting out that wing root, it has been primed and reworked. The engines are primed as well now. There will be a bunch of masking when the wings and engines are painted because of the bare metal finish.

lovely scheme, and a nice finish

Fantastic work Cliff, I can hear the whine of the turbo compressor and the whirring of those RR Darts as I type this.

Great result Kev.

Thanks Mike, Well in our place in Canberra I had a good sized model room and space. We've moved the Adelaide and it is a smaller space. I will need to move things around to make space. Or just box it up and put it in the garage until I want to display it.

Some progress, I added some PE to the gear legs and ladder And found some props from the spares box to prep

Cliff, there would have been a benefit if I had thought about the wing fuselage join a little better, on previous E-3 builds I added spacers in the fuselage at the wing root to reduce/eliminate the gap. I rushed it this time and did not do so and paid the price, Two steps forward, one step back.

I dug through the stash and found the Williams Bros Boeing 247 kit. I am not a fan of either scheme in the kit, the racer or flight test article. I will see if I can find some other decal options on the net.

Slowly getting time on this after another Boomer subject (C-130) has been finished. I tried something different attaching the wings, I added the upper pieces first. It did not work to plan and I made a filling nightmare when one upper wing came off while adding the lower wing. Anyway the wing is attached and the filling and sanding has begun. The engines have been assembled and filling and sanding completed.

I had totally forgotten about the is one, nice to see some progress from 10 years ago!

I certainly do Bosse, I have another 6 unstarted in the stash that will all be built one day. I spent part of today adding etch to the main gear legs, it stuck more to my fingers than to the plastic!

Tom, All versions on the Anigrand kit are inaccurate, the 'update' was cosmetic and did not address the shape issues of the nose or the possession of the wing. The engines are also not good, I suppose I should put everyone out theie misery and finish mine so Kinetic release theirs

Agree Markus, the fist link you posted is mine (I have a build thread here on BM as well), I have been working on it on and off since 2006! I might finish it just before the Kinetic kit hits the shelves

Looks nice Howard, I have built the other option from this boxing (Finnish Air Force) and have another to do in this scheme.
