The yellow fuselage band has taken a lot of work to get it to where I'm happy, I'll know next time to ensure that the lengths of masking tape overlap to stop any bleeding. The engines were removed from their temporary fix so I could fit the propellers. The accumulator ring and exhausts were first painted Gunmetal then a coat of Citadel Seraphim Sepia was applied. Whilst the rings are initially brass after use this 'fades' to a greyer colour and that's what I'm trying to achiev With those on and the undercarriage fitted it's starting to look more like n aircraft. Croatian Blenheims were fitted with German machine guns in the turret so a pair of these have been sourced and repaired.

As discussed at the meeting Kev the only wings I have are the straight ones with the dipped ends. Work has been done to smooth the filler under the engine and this will be finalised once the wings are on as there will be more filler needed there. The locating stubs for the wings are minimal to say the least so they were removed and holes  drilled in the wings and the fuselage with brass rod fitted to help hold the wings in place. Whether I went with the 'normal' or 'butterfly' tail, I'm going with the latter, I would have to do some work on the fuselage and once all is dry it will be carved and sanded to shape.

I would say you have a future in Stanley Royd (don't know the East Yorkshire rquivalent!!!).

Just wait till I have finished it - you will say I have a future in something, but not sure what yoho yoho yoho

Definitely a 'distressed' looking aeroplane.
I don't think you have a future in aircraft restoration.........hahaha     

A top coat of aluminium - looks almost like a plane --but give me time yoho yoho yoho       

Really great Bob. You have a real knack setting up the model with the background. Excellent.

I need some sunglasses!

All looking great Dave.

A great evening. Thanks for the photos Martin.
