Looks great Richie! As for the engine covers .....I make mine out of annealed Coca Cola cans . ,,,,,once the aluminium is annealed then its quite easy to cut and shape them!....you could give it a go unless you have come up with a brain wave!....if you do ,let me know!🙂

Yes...I don't usually take such a break ,but after a 3 year break I have got myself into another rock band and had to put all my efforts into music! I have started a 1:24 scale scratch build of a Hawker Fury.....but stopped as I had problems with the plans I was using for the fuselage......so then I restarted and still at the half a fuselage stage!!.....I will get back to the bench soon hopefully!

Cowling looks perfect Richie! A break from scratch building is sometimes all we need to put us back on track!......I'm currently on my 3rd month off....due to life getting in the way!😉 Fozzy

Richie I know how you feel!...Scratch building is not easy and it does take it out of you. My last scratch build was 1:20 scale B17G fuselage and it took me 10 years to complete!...I battled on to get it finished and when it was it was such a relief! One added stress factor can be that you post your build here ,on BM...just like I did ...and you almost feel that you mustn't let the followers down.....but my advice would be to take a break and make a OOB 1:72 kit and go back to it later. I found that gave me the push to continue to the end. What ever you decide ...just to say...I feel for you and that this build is a real masterpiece! Fozzy

Cheers Richie!......not sure what's next but toying with the idea of scratch building the cockpit of a Avro Vulcan along side an Avro Lancaster cockpit in 1:20 scale....but that just maybe a project too far!😉 -

Thanks once again every one for your kind words!🙂 Fozzy -
Yes ,I used the original wheels and added spokes.....I was never going to put those clear plastic parts on! I guess at the end of the day the kit was only £8....what would one expect with detail side of things!......but........I have to say I love these sort of kits as they are far more of a challenge than the "perfect" Tamiya kits....to name but a few! Happy Xmas! Fozzy
