Don’t know about JD, but your post above jogged my memory…..that’s why I’ve got some big aircrew on my painting bench…..I was going to send them on wasn’t I :flushed: :flushed:
The glasshouse doesn’t look too bad, just take it slow and mask the canopy before you glue it on. That way it’s easier to handle…..just wipe fingerprints off the inside before gluing or you have a nasty surprise when you unmask it…..

Ha!! "Big Aircrew" you say
To me, they're the smaller of my personal range... But I realise that,compared to your preference,they are large!!
....and thanks for the advice re canopy masks, I'll DEFINITELY be taking that slowly.. probably over a few days!!

Hell's Bells Smitty if you was building ARMOUR you wouldn't need no "masks"!! Oh and take the JD "Neat" if you please! :tongue-out3:

It would appear that in one of my occasional,"Jack Daniels induced",on line purchasing sprees,i did actually buy some

Once upon a time, I was putting an order in with Hannants. Whilst I was at it, I thought, I'll get a bit of photo etch for my B17. When I added this to my order, a polite warning popped up telling me I bought this 12 months ago. Had I ? A quick look in the B17 box and 'oh yes, there it was'

Anyone remember this?!!
... So then,after spending quite a while doing my latest Tankie thing, it was time to return to my Defiant
Put the wings together, quite a few bits for these already (7 so far!),but here they are under duress

Some other tiny bits you can see there,they just need painting and added to the fuselage when it's together. ..... Talking of which
... Here's some of the cockpit stuff..


Stuck one side in...

... Going together really well so far,and my basic painting may just get away with it once it's all buttoned up?!
Anyway,KARL outta look away now..
... Because the worst kind of cheating is coming up!! ..

Yep,the kit part on the left,and my CHEAT PART on the right... Sorry Karl... But I'm going with the cheat option !!
..... That's it so far chaps, should get an update on again tomorrow evening
Thanks for looking in,
Andy
