Hi Roger,
I agree with Zak, very nice models they are....................

What will you treat us with next..........................?
Bigkev

I agree with Zak and Kevin -- but is it going to be a ship??

[Roger]

Finally emerged from the stash - here is what's next.  Any ideas?

I'm sure Big Kev will get it from one clue, but a second anyway.  Cleaned up props in the background, the shape was good but they were as thick as paving slabs.  40 mins scraping and sanding and they look much nicer.
More soon,
Roger

Nice steering wheel...is it scratch build???

[Bigkev]

Hi Roger,
Methinks it could be a Boeing B-17?
Cheers
Bigkev

Well done Big Kev, new tool Airfix B-17.  I'll start a new thread.
Kiteman, I'm afraid I can't take any credit for the steering wheel, it's an original from the 94th Bomb Group at Bury St Edmunds that my Dad got from a friendly ground crewman at the end of WW2.
Happy modelling,
Roger

Nice to have a bit of history relating to a model Roger, gives it a bit more interest

There`s no stopping BigKev is there! Well done that man!

[Roger]

He's very good isn't he!

[Bigkev]

Thanks Roger and Kiteman,
It was the control wheel that made up my mind. If my memory is correct, on the front face (boss/centre) of the control wheel is a Boeing trademark...............

Look forward to seeing this one Roger..............
Cheers,
Bigkev

Correct, but unfortunately mine hasn't got the badge on it.
