tonyot Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks for your kind words everybody, glad you like it and I hope you enjoy the kit as much as I did if you buy one, Thanks to Airfix for releasing another superb kit of an RAF classic.

modelling minion Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Outstanding work Tony. I love the scheme and you have done a great job on it. I'm sure Airfix will be selling a few more Wellingtons off the back of your build, and I look forward to your Coastal Command one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Your previous B-25 Mitchell builds inspired me to open my wallet and theres no doubt that this Wellington will have a similar effect in the weeks to come. It's so good to see this finished and equally better to hear it endorsed so well buy a modeller who builds so many. Thanks Tony. Cheers..

general melchett Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Lovely job Tony...are you going to rig the aerial lines? if so you'll need to add the stub aerial for the TR9 intercom unit on the left upper fuselage, (have you still to add it or has the Carpet Monster 'ad it?) Quote yes there are loads of schemes to choose from aren`t there, Certainly are... I have a silver/yellow T.10 in mind. Look forward to seeing the Coastal Command version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly are... I have a silver/yellow T.10 in mind. Look forward to seeing the Coastal Command version. Thanks Andy,..... I`ve stopped rigging antenna wires now because I only end up snapping them and you guessed correctly,.... the tiny mast went pinging off into the ether,.... never to be seen again! I did mean to whittle a replacement but forgot! A silver and white T.10 would be superb,..... fingers crossed that Airfix do one,... maybe that explains the line scored inside the nose eh! Just applied the first coat of white to the coastal one yesterday,.... although it just happens to be one which didn`t have ASV fitted so it is a standard Mk.Ic.

Ha, don't worry mate, you're not alone! I've taken to having a plastic sheet under the bench as I'm sick to death of tiny parts, (especially PE) disappearing into the ravenous jaws of the bliddy Carpet Monster!

tonyot Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thank you everybody for your very kind comments, I`m still plodding along with the other Airfix Wellington in coastal colours, wearing 311 (Czech) Sqn markings and the MPM kit in daylight coastal markings for the Med. Here is an update on the other Airfix kit, starting with the markings that it will wear,.... from the MPM kit and pics of the real aircraft; Note that the real aeroplane appears to have the later porcupine style exhausts,... which are provided in the MPM kit as resin parts, so they will be added to the Airfix kit. Speaking of the kit,.... here it is so far after a couple of coats of Halfords finest white rattlecan paint; Cheers for now, Tony 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which `infil' parts do you mean,...... all you get are side windows in the kit, which were overpainted on many Wimey`s,...as I`ve replicated here. If you mean the waist window infills,.... then yes,.... I had trouble with filling and getting a decent fit. I`m fitting waist windows on this model but have yet to attach them, the openings are covered with tape. Edited July 21, 2018 by tonyot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Joseph Cheers Joseph,..... yes that is the colour that I used. I have a theory that many US colours were used for `in theatre' repaints in the Med,..... but the dope on this Wellington would also have faded quite a lot in the sunshine anyway.
