RJ-WobblyHands Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Another build finally completed ... I started this as part of the D-Day GB last year ... then work , life etc took over !! , but now its complete, it joins my 1/72nd collection of USAF aircraft based in Essex during WW2 , As with every kit, its a learning curve and a relaxing hobby, constructive comments always welcome One day I will build a photo booth / base to make pictures more interesting !! Aircraft s/n 43-10208 5D-S : ‘ Es for Sugar’. 644th Bomb Squadron part of 410th Bomb Group based at RAF Gosfield (near Braintree) with secondary runway at RAF Birch 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Don’t see many of these built, but you have done a cracking job, looks really good, well done for persevering and getting it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Duvalier Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Beautiful. I understand the kit is somewhat pugnacious and will fight any modeller who attempts to build it; I hope the one in my stash turns out almost as well as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was a challenge in places - plenty of dry fitting , sanding , dry fitting again , filling sanding etc , there are a couple areas I cold have got better and the final fight with the PE was fun(ish) ... not ! Fat fingers - small PE and superglue it not a good combo , but the end result came out looking like a Havoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well done. I tried to build this kit and ended up throwing it into the wall. I`m jealous and envious of your ability to create a masterpiece with this kit. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangor Lad Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Lovely work. I have a hankering to build something with a faded and weathered OD finish but I've not yet taken the plunge. Your model has inspired me to look through the stash and see what I can at last try. What paints did you use? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
