Prop-nut Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Hello All, This was my multi engined effort for last years comp season. Trumpeter kit with Eduard set (waste of money really as stuff all is visible) I added an alloy mainspar as I didnt trust the wing to fuselage join, also Quick boost gun barrels.

Paul Alan Bardell Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice looking kit Stephen, When i get around to digging mine out of the loft, i just know it will not end up looking that good! I too think that the wing/fuselage joint does not look strong enough (thats a big old kit in 1/48) did any other members have any trouble with this aspect of the kit? Again nice work there Stephen. best regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Stunning, love the weathering, really adds character to an already charismatic aeroplane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltadefender Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Lovely stuff, you can imagine her sitting out in the Maltese winter ready to go and cause a bit of discomfort around 'Mare Nostrum'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodrog2 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Its a great shame sometimes when the interior is so often covered up once the fuselage is joined together, particularly when like you, one makes such a good and detailed job of it, I did the same with a B-17 was I disappointed! anyway overall you have represented a wonderful work-horse of W.W 2 in a lovely build, well done.

Prop-nut Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 very nice job .the black undersides are great ,how did you paint them? Thanks, simple answer is dont use "full black" for anything other than highlights (or should that be low lights?) but numerous varying shades or really (really) dark grey that look black but arent if that makes sense.

ratpit Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 wow- really nice work. Love the black undersides - so much like the powdery paint used by the RAF back then and hard to replicate - well done. Oh, and the rest of it is simply stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
