Nice work Ian, much admiration for the rescribe job. Yes, those machine guns are in a precarious position. Good luck with the masking (be keen to see how you tackle that as I will have to deal with it myself later)

[papa 695]

Got the figures painted and put in place, also started to mask the glass.

The engines put onto the wings, not a bad fit at all, now ready to put the wings on. Tail plane also fitted.

Nice work Ian, that's a lot of masking.

Coming along nicely Ian.If I was building it I guarantee I would break the guns off!.

[papa 695]

No problems Tommy glad to have you along

[papa 695]

Cheers Dave and Tony. Take a good look at the back of the plane ( no guns in sight )

They had to come off, I will glue the barrels back on when I finish it
