I'm pleased to see you picked up on the fact that the main doors are closed on the ground. Thanks Greg 👍 Btw the main doors are not separate parts in the kit, so a moulded closed! I did wonder about those as the old Airfix kit I built as a boy had the option to have them open. Cheers Greg 🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, Thanks for the kind comments. Basically this one is finished, I just need to get some pictures taken and post it up. I had hoped to get some outside but the weather here has been rotten😞 Hopefully I can take some soon. Cheers Greg 👍 6 hours ago, trickyrich said: yeah where are we at with this one?

trickyrich Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 we had snow on the hills (too small to really be called mountains!) outside Sydney yesterday, was -8C there overnight!

GREG DESTEC Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Well folks thats me done! Sorry about the lack of updates but ulitamtely life got in the way- AGAIN! This is the first German bomber i have done in a while, and i have to say it was an enjoyable one. The kit is very well engineered, and suffered my hamfisted efforts to the very end. Finishing took longer than i expected with lots of little details to keep adding. Top tip from me for this one is not to add the tail gun until the very end. The kit becomes hard to handle after a while with lots of fragile bits that are liable to damage. The main cockpit transparencies did n't fit well for me but theres a good chance that was just ME!! Thanks to all for showing an interest in my build, and for all the comments and encouragement along the way. Heres a few pics more in the gallery, Cheers Greg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Well done getting this one over the line. Looks way better in the natural light than in the shots in the gallery. Like Rich it is one of my favorite aircraft and you have done it justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
