Hi Zak,

Only noticed the 'cab thing' after your post drew attention to it, so it was not that obvious. You might be right but I reckon once you have looked at some plans and photo's you'll soon rectify 'any' or 'if' errant issues.

Probably 'our perspective' of todays vehicles might be the fault, not the model!!

Good job it wasn't the real thing,

Think of how much wrapping paper that would have taken!

Haddock would have had another birthday before he got it fully unwrapped!

Small is beautiful Haddock.

Hi All,

Not one to compete with Dave for 'El Presidente' but, ...............today the IPMS Mag, Tomorrow the world!!!

Can I wake up now please??

A rather embarrassed Bigkev

Thanks,

Hopefully next pictures will show it more or less together. Have given it a bath, and waiting for it to dry out before some touching in here and there.
On track for being finished for meeting, have still to sort a base though.

Hi All,

The new year got me going again, and I'm nearly there. Since my last post, I have managed to paint the blue upper fuselage, and apply the decals, (all 150 of them!)

The decals are by Daco for Revell, but are VERY GOOD, I thought the tail would be a problem but no, It settled down over the detail brilliantly without any bubbling or silvering. They were tough too, and were forgiving of being handled sometimes..................roughly!

Now I am at the point of washing the decal solution off the airframe and then affixing the undercarriage, tailplanes and wheels. I hope to have it fully completed by next meeting.

For now I have attached some photographs of work to date.

Cheers,

Bigkev

Hi All,
Happy New Year to you all.
Mine is to get more built and finished. Have been a bit lazy of late, so will try to pick up the pace.
Best wishes to everyone for 2015!

Hi Haddock,

One thing I can be sure of, is that you will portray your barrels to best of your interpretation of the details available. I know you will do some real deep research before committing them to the model.

Nice work, Haddock!!

Hi Haddock,

Very nice job of cutting that plate, with all the circles and cut outs from 1 piece, per side.

No doubt that it'll look really great when properly in place.

Very good, Sir..................................carry on!
