Hello again,
I've been building my THIRD (yes third) 1/72 AZ Models XIV however I wanted a short break from it. For the break I've decided to model a 144 wing machine cobbled from different wrecks, JEJ*JR MK329. This build actually started in reverse, first I scratch built an underbelly tank that could be used for beer transportation I', going to do this as a late war machine, I have been unable to find out what happened to MK329 after D-Day and its move to the continent, however, I suggest that it may have stayed with an RCAF or moved to a 2 TAF squadron as a hack/spare aircraft, following the sqn's through Holland, Belgium and Germany.
This build has taken a little longer than I expected as I went a bit overboard on the "few improvements" idea I had in mind. Anyway, you all want to see pics!
Fuel tank
Converted to E wing
Belts
Belt and seat support bar
Angled control surfaces
Stripes look okish considering this is my first
Small bit of damage and leakage
A lot of damage caused when removing tape (I fear the primer hadnt set fully)
Well it should only take a little while longer...
Ben
