    Thanks Jim.

    I've got all of the markings and decals done now, sealed in with a light gloss coat.

    The bombs are okay if you squint from the moon lol. The stars & bars on the fuselage sides were very tricky, having to work around the waist gunners doors and their wind deflectors. Lots of micro sol, some slicing with a new blade, and a couple of touch ups has them looking good enough for me.

      Sorry for not commenting sooner Andy, had other things on my mind, looking good as expected.

          You've done well to get that star to 'snuggle' down so well.

            Absolutely no need to apologise John, I'm glad you like it.

                Thanks Chris. The doors can be posed open if you wanted to but I've gone for it closed up.

                --------
                After all the work I put into the bombs, this is all you can see:

                After some final assembly she's done. I managed to ruin a couple of areas with my usual CA glue handicap, but I'm happy with the rest of it.

                I'll put up a completed post once the forum has moved, but here are a couple of pictures

                  That's real nice Andy. I liked this aircraft and you have certainly done a superb job of replicating it.

                        Brilliant model Andy.
                        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                                That would not look out of place in a formal Airfix display Andy T
