Here we go. A 1963 classic, this rebox from 1964-5: Note the beautifully moulded, impeccably clear (if a little thick) nose transparency on the box. Contents include the original stand: And the Air Lines edition carried details of different kits on the back of the box and had painting details of several kits on a leaflet in the box. I was warned about the broken cylinders by the ebay vendor, which is why it was a cheap kit: It's definitely of its age! While I love a desert scheme Baltimore as much as the next man, this splendid photograph from Etienne du Plessis provides the inspiration for the build: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8270787@N07/4848632275 I know it's not scientific, but I used the photo outline to check the plans (off the internet somewhere) for accuracy: Flying surfaces aren't bad, but the fuselage is too long: All pieces (top left) not resembling a Baltimore have been removed from the fuselage: I've filled lots of sink marks and mould imperfections too. The cowlings will need a lot of love, or replacement: Having a stab at lining the wheel wells, starting with a card template: So I've done some work on it, but it now won't build up because I've cut away big chunks of fuselage. I think I'm below the 25% progress limit (I reckon minus 20%), but I would like to be officially absolved please. I throw myself on the mercy of the mods... Regards, Adrian
