      If that's true I'll be adding at least 3 more boxes to the top of that pile by the end of August!

      There seems to have been little fanfare though and no test builds, not even a CAD drawing so I'm finding that release date surprising.

      Cheers Paul

        Paul I would go with the HGW seat belt they do end up looking very realistic see my FW190 build. You've got a long job ahead of you, will watch with interest.

          Hi Vaughan

          The HGW sets are good but the difference between those and the RB sets is close. I'd give HGW the edge and willprobably buy those in future but i see no reason to swap out the RB sets I have for the majority of my kits.

          BTW the 190 is coming together really well.

          I've had a really productive weekend and have moved the Galland 109 build massively. Here's a few pics, i've just taken these with normal lighting or with flash from the camera so some of the detail is lost but you get the idea.









          As you can see I've actually managed to get most of the parts painted now, which is rather a pleasant surprise. This means that next weekend I can get down to applying the decals and assembling the parts.

          When I've finished her I'll take some better shots but at the moment I'm just concentrating on the build.

          Hope you like the progress

          Paul

            Looking really nice Paul love the weathering on the under carriage. What washes are you using?

                Being a new member I've only just caught up with this thread, this project is looking superb so far.

                Have you made any more progress Paul?
