Fishbed Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 With a bit of effort I've pushed this one through the finishing gate. Need to make a simple base so I can add the figures properly. Went to the trouble of paining them, so may as well. This the Airfix kit with the CMK Wellington figures and Techmod decals. I replaced the gun barrels with some metal Master versions (rather nice). The bomb bay was filled with some extra 500lbers from the Whitley kit and some resin SBC from Belcher Bits. The decals were lovely and thin, but oh so brittle. Spent ages carefully putting them back together and patching up the gaps with (almost) matching paint. On to the pics. Tim 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Excellent job. Makes me want to dig mine out of the stash. Shame about the decals. I've had similar. Techmod can be a bit tricky at times. The end result looks great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Gorgeous job on this! Perhaps I could rob an extra Airfix kit of some of the engine parts for use on another project--that wheel-like object behind the prop is also found on the Vickers Viking/Valetta.

The black is Alcad black primer. to lazy to paint things twice 🙂 Besides it not quite totally black, so looks a better that really black paint (if you see what I mean). 9 hours ago, Lightningboy2000 said: Superb Wellington & the photography is top notch.
