Looks an interesting build Ian, I love Malta, the kind of place you either love or hate, very interesting history. Cheers Derek

If your going to Malta,the war museum and 'Malta experience' in Valletta are well worth a look.

Right finaly got some pictures for you to look at sorry for the quality [ATTACH]64381.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64382.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64383.vB[/ATTACH] there are some terrible pin marks on this kit most will be out of veiw when its all put together but some need to be got rid of and there right on the braceing wires on the inside so i had to paint them back on. Should look ok when buttoned up

The wings look very good from the top veiw [ATTACH]64384.vB[/ATTACH] but from the underside you can see the joints [ATTACH]64385.vB[/ATTACH] so the problem is what to do to get rid of the joint without destroying the wing ribs ? The only way i found was to sand it all flat then scribe some lines where the ribs were. This is what it looks like when painted, [ATTACH]64386.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64387.vB[/ATTACH] What do you think ?

Also got the bombs put together [ATTACH]64388.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64389.vB[/ATTACH]

Off to a cracking there Ian. I'll be keeping a "beady" on this.

Peter

[papa 695]

I was not happy with the painted on braceing wires [ATTACH]64402.vB[/ATTACH] so i re-sprayed it and then used some EZ line [ATTACH]64403.vB[/ATTACH] Think it looks a lot better

Then i started on the seats [ATTACH]64404.vB[/ATTACH] Thats the pilot seat [ATTACH]64405.vB[/ATTACH] This is the gunners seat Looks a lot better SO
