mark.au Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hello all; I hope you have a great Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. There's a long story behind this build, literally a 12 year effort across two continents. The full story, as usual sits on my website. The short version is that this one started as a build for a friend; he wanted a super-detailed RAF Boston. I ran out of enthusiasm and interest long before it was finished and it became a shelf queen. For some reason I kept the carcass though, and eventually, after a move to Australia, I retrieved it from Canada on a return visit and finally finished it a couple of months ago. As usual, comments and critique are welcome. Thanks for looking. Mark. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 She’s come up a treat (and apples!). Nice to know that it’s finally completed after such a long journey. Colours look really nice to my eye. Cheers and Happy NY.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Really excellent build. Has the same story as some of my completed builds. It is always special when a project is completed over such a long period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydhuey Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Looks good, She's Apples is my favourite Boston, couple of small things , the DB-7B's ran twin .303 Brownings in the Gunners position , the A-20C's ran a single .50 but the DB-7B's and A-20A's ran the twin .303's. Also the cheek guns are .303's so you shouldn't see any barrel sticking out , the DB-7B's and A-20A's ran 4 x .303's in the cheek positions , the A-20C's ran a single .50 each side with the projecting barrel.

Great info, thanks for letting me know. Should be an easy fix if, I can find the twin barrel Browning. Thanks to everyone for the comments and likes. Cheers! Mark.
