Liking that a lot. Really convincing office there!

Great work Carl, looking fantastic!

Hi Carl
Cockpit looks really nice. Getting the fuselage halves together is always nice to get done. It can be problematic on small planes at 1/72 so this biggie at 1/48 :rolling: - well done indeed.

Probably a pointless update but just fixed the two wings to the fuselage. Will leave the glue to set properly for a few hours now.

What's the wingspan. The 1/72 ones I have on the stash are just over 40 cm.

A 1/72 Lanc doesn't fit into my display cabinet. In 1/48 I would have to build an extension to accommodate it. One big mother of a kit ...

Interesting build and great job.
I have two in the stash but befor I can build them I need to find/make a glass topped coffee table to put them in.

engine covers now in place. With a bit of clamping they fit ok although there are some gaps which I will try to fill and sand before priming. I left the engines out as I was t going to have the engine covers open. I did make one engine up just because it seemed a shame not to.

Getting more plane like by the day Carl. That’s going to take some painting! Looks like we have the same weather as well....

Yep, I doubled up in the paint so I’m hoping it’ll be enough as I’m giving the MRP a go for this one and if I run out then I got to wait 5-7 days delivery which might get even more delayed depending on what happens with Brexit etc. Weather looks to be rain for the next week In gloucester so perfect for modelling I guess. My house is the very edge of our housing estate and I’m on the corner directly below a big hill so the plus side is I have a pretty unhindered view of fields and hull out my windows but the wind and rain hits my house pretty strong.

Coat of primer added using MRP-084.
First time using this brand properly so looking forward to the results.
