      Laurie a great build and a lovely paint job 5* as you said it's a shame you can't see all the hard work you put into the interior.

        Thanks for the interest men & your comments.

        One thing that I forgot to mention. On my Lancaster I used Vallejo Model Air black which is black.

        On this I took note of what was said about toning down to make the colour more realistic for the scale.

        On the Wellington I use a black grey. Vallejo Model Air Panzer Grey 71.056 which I thought looked OK. What do you think ?

          I think the black/grey colour has worked well with the scale look, Laurie. Such a wonderfully finished Wimpy.

            Great job Laurie!

            My grandmother used to tell me how she and her brother would go Pollington airfield in Yorkshire to watch these aircraft take off. He was intent on becoming a pilot and couldn't get enough of the sight and sound of them. He finally got his wish and piloted glider aircrafin the war. Sadly he was shot down and killed, I believe in Rhine Crossing operations.

            The Wellington looks great and It's such a shame about the fit. Still it did finish up being a cracking model.

            Cheers
