Hello all, As I said in the Chat section, selecting the kit for this GB took me quite some time. To quote Coleridge, boxes, boxes everywhere, but the heavies were too large for the current state of my workbench and surel probably wouldn't get finished in time, the Anson operated with Coastal command, I couldn't find the Marauder and the box I have doesn't come with an RAF option anyway... in the end I settled for a Matchbox kit that I bought second-hand and had already fallen victim to my mistake habits (start a project, put it away cos I need the table, lose interest for months on end). The props will be sourced from an Airfix donor but not the wheels, so the Matchbox nipples are going to stay, alas. State of the kit as of today (clicking on any pic leads to a larger version of it): So far: tested the fit, cleaned some flash and matching surfaces, cemented the side windows in the nose, boxed in 2/3 of a wheel well, sawn off the starboard navigation light and mislaid the sawing blade. I hope that the latter does not count towards the 25% completion threshold. Closeup of the decal sheet. What will happen when I peel away that rice paper?
