cngaero Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) That's magnificent Neil. Your painstaking work on the cockpit and canopy is absolutely stunning. I've been searching for a few other superlatives for this build, so here's a few to be going on with: "excellent, magnificent, wonderful, glorious, marvellous, brilliant, supreme, consummate, outstanding, prodigious, dazzling, remarkable, formidable, fine, choice, sterling, first-rate, first-class, of the first order, of the highest order, premier". It does deserve a lot more. Edited November 8, 2018 by cngaero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly excellent work all round Neil & I can't believe how quickly you've managed to bring it all together and at such a fantastically high standard! Keith Thanks Keith, it is a rather large greenhouse. I’m looking forwards to getting it done now, sick of looking at it! 6 hours ago, cngaero said: That's magnificent Neil.

tomprobert Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That is stunningly good. Knowing what these kits are like, you've worked miracles. Weathering is spot on too - not too 'in your face' but effective enough to show some wear and tear. Brilliant all round! Will hopefully catch you at some point this weekend.

Tom Thanks Tom, I’ve some way to go before I’ll be a vac master like yourself. I feel like I’ve bullied this one into shape by brute force where as you seem to have a finesse in your approach.

bigbadbadge Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wow Neil. What an amazing build, the Stirling looks absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could have gone to Telford to see it in the flesh. Fantastic work. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks guys, I was working on it until 10pm Friday night, it was great not having to work on it over the weekend. I got an FM Halifax from Colin, @crobinsonh to which I’m hugely greatful for whilst there and I think it’s going to end up on the bench next...so much for an OOB build 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 So, Neil, did or din't the Sterling get to SMW? I've loved your build thread as always, because there is always something to learn from your build process. The Halifax, build I will follow with the same enthusiasm. Thanks for the entertainment.

Colin Hi Colin, yes it did minus undercarriage, bomb bay doors and various sticky out things. A whole weekend without working on it was great! 39 minutes ago, Mancunian airman said: Any photo(s) of this girl with her sisters on the table please ?? Doh, I never thought to take any unless someone else has taken any. I missed @Radleigh on Sunday but belive he was there, wonder if he had his camera? If so Radders, did you get any shots?

Just st need to get the Stirling finished now.....it’s still sat in the box currently, I’m enjoying a week off 😂 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 @woody37 - Neil good to catch up on the Saturday, shame I could only be there 40-50 minutes... but that's life. I was there Sunday most of the day, left around 1500.. I came over to the BC table twice and no one was about so I just grabbed the one photo of the Manchester and Stirling. Are you doing Bolton? Be good to see both again and have a proper look and photo them! From what I saw, they are absolutely stunning. Hats off to you! 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
