woody37 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Great progress, nearly an out of the box build, but not quite!!!!!! That's a busy interior you're creating there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 More detail added today, I wanted to show the often neglected life raft compartment, so cut out the door and scratch built the interior, I will add a life raft during the build. More detail today, I wanted to show the little known or portrayed life raft stowage compartment, so I have cut out the access door and scratch built the interior, I will add the liferaft at some point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMCS Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I thought I would start on the archers rivet transfers, really pleased how it is turning out, and not such a big job really...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Very good detailing! Will any of it be very visible, or is it purely about fidelity? Great work and attention to detail in any case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 More progres. I have finished the rivetting on the fuselage and continued with doing some more detaling of the gun turrets. The rear gun was woeful, so I have scratch built the canvas cover using papaer mache and styrene and added Eduard gun barrells to all the systems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 RMCS.. WHOA! ! Your Scratch build is EXCELLENT. .. EXEMPLARY and Neat work. . sir, it is a pleasure to see something that stirs MY heart. Keep up the good work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Great stuff! I have not looked in here for some days and have missed quite a bit. Great progress. Rene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPReggie Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Wow that is amazing. I have the 1/72 version of this in my stash, must get cracking on it at some stage, although I am finding the colours a little confusing - Revell don't make it very clear sometimes with their colours based on mixing 3 or more shades together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Suds Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Still coming on nicely, looking forward to seeing more of this superb build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been doing a few bits, but it didnt really justify an update..but as I have been putting all the individual builds together it is now time to show how it is going. I decided to open up the tail gunners access ahtch as it seemed a waste to hide all the eduard PE, so a bit more scratch building done, including the shroud for the tail wheel. I have alos added the sides to the bomb bay and started to detail the nose section. I am now at a point where I have added and masked most of the clear parts. I am getting really excited and spending quite alot of time making sure the fuselage will close up without too many problems, which is proving to be quite a challenge with all the different resin, pe and scratch building parts I have used. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Superb, but I don't envy you putting the 2 sides together ! Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 It fits suprisingly well. I am spending alot of time filing and tests fitting before I paint and take the glue to the plastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Fantastic work RMCS , looks packed inside there. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 I took the plunge and decided to replace the turbo system and exhaust with a resin set I had. I am glad I did, I think the added detail justifies the swearing, cutting and filling, just need to do the other 3 and tidy them up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
