Great work so far, what are you going to name it ?

 

Wulfman

It’s deffo a Nimrod. My ‘logic’ is that it was Their Airships and not the manufacturer that had naming rights.

This has come along in leaps and wossnames since I last looked in.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, being impressed by some numbers on a fictional model.

It's so depressing. 🤖

This hoopy frood really knows where his towel is. I’ve wept into it at times trying to get this far!

@mackem01 It keeps looking at me saying “put me legs on!”. Won’t take much to do to push it over the line, undercarriage, bomb bay doors, Leigh Light and torpedoes.

 

Probably my first completion of 2021 👍🏻

Now look what you’ve made me go and do!

 

Firstly a bit of interest for the outside of one of the bomb bay doors

.....and a bit of painting for the fiddly bits

The de icing cuffs on the props will need tidying up, but you can see what I’m getting at. The tips will be red/white/red. I’ll need a very steady hand for that bit.

 

Thanks for looking in.

Absolutely superb, I've really enjoyed following this build :)

 

I too can whole heartedly recommend hataka blue line acrylics, they are the smoothest, best colouring acrylic paints I have used and I swear by them now!

No I haven’t forgotten about this and have just been ‘tooling it up’ with the promised MK.46 torpedoes, extra range fuel tank and also the Leigh Light under the wing.

 

Props, undercarriage, maybe some aerials and general touching up and I think I’m there. About time I hear you say 🤣.

 

Just a couple of pix for now to prove progress

Thanks for looking, I’m now off to get my jab

Hello

 

Just had a ‘like’ for this. I know I’ve been ignoring this build and I promise I’ll finish it. Thanks @USA Cousin

 

Soon 😁👍

You are very welcome! What you have done is way beyond my skill and patience-levels, so thank you for sharing the journey. :)
