Graeme H Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Crikey, those are some serious gaps on the wing fuselage join. and trestles, hmmm, shouldn't they be Jacks?, I would have accepted 1.48th wooden pallets with 1.48 real rubber tyres though.

Navy Bird Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Looking very good! Does this kit have any photoetch? The 1:72 Special Hobby kits have some nice photoetch for the carburettor intake FOD guard. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVY870 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well this is a bit embarrassing, last time I posted anything in this thread I had one grandchild. Now I have a horde of them! I've actually done a bit and got some jam on the thing. Its needed quite a few touch ups (don't we all 😎) the paint refused to stick in a couple of places and was the sole cause of several profane outbursts. Its had a coat of clear and I'll have a go at decalling the beast tomorrow. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVY870 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Paint jobs sorted, changed my mind on the paint scheme and went for a European theatre as opposed to my normal diet of BPF. Decals from the Special Hobby kit wot got broke. Oh dash and tarnation (or words to that effect) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVY870 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Ship mates. There is a very real possibility that I may actually finish a wip thread 🤣 (Surely I've now put the mixie on it and the cat is skulking off to sit on it as I type) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
