Nice work on the cockpit. Lots of detail.

Even the 1154 receiver and 1155 transmitter shown in detail. Excellent Andy. Were decals used for the radios?

Fantastic job Andy, keep it up.

Yes Chris, I used the Eduard detail set. They look a bit too clean but with a small amount of weathering they should look good through the glass.
Lots more to do but we'll get there.
Thanks all.
Happy New Year.

Looking GREAT Andy

The only problem is where to keep it?
Tell James his model railway may have to move over.

Is any of the interior able to be seen?
Excellent though.

Amazing stuff!

Zak- No I don't know what I'm going to do with it when its finished. I think I have my head planted in the sand on this one.
Chris- I don't think you will be able to see much through the windows with my skills that may bee a good thing. The kit comes with a full alternative CLEAR fuselage. I don't plan to use it but at this time 'all bets are off'.

Here's the latest progress, I think we are nearly done building the crew compartment. The next step is to start putting in the lights and electronics. Wish me luck...

Good luck.
My dad was a navigator on Lancaster bombers.
Don't forget to model the tin can to be passed around for going to the loo. No time to leave your post apparently.

With all the excellent work you have done on the interior Andy - if it was me I would use the clear half of the fusalage on one half so you could look in from one side and see the outside paint job on the other - BUT remember I am strange so you don't have to follow my ideas

chriswil42 · January 04, 2021, 03:22:22 PM

Yes really excellent detail Andy.

cph64 · January 04, 2021, 04:09:17 PM

It does seem a shame to hide all that great detail. When are the builders coming to make the extension to house it in?

Bob C · January 04, 2021, 09:29:11 PM

Fantastic detail Andy, I think you will have to finish it and then take it apart to bring it to a club night, or will it have babies by them.
