Real surgery going on there Ian, nice work

Those leading edges look like something I would do and think that it would be disguised with a coat of ten gauge paint!

Still plenty of work to do on them Rick but if I get into any trouble with them I'll post them to you

Nice seeing this coming along Ian.

This is looking really interesting and more so with each post. At least you haven't got a major detailed office to do ( scuba gear might be needed for that!


Very impressive

I wouldn't want to come to my surgery Scott

Ok got some more done to this. As you can see the wings are now on, and I've drilled the gun ports out and re- fitted the side panels, and put the barrels in. I've also started to put the ribs on that can be seen. Still lots to do.

Brilliant scratchbuilding (or should that be scratch dismantling!!?) , its going to look amazing Ian. Its a fantastic idea and will really let you go to town with the weathering , looking forward to the next bit , cheers tony

This is looking brilliant Ian and the scratch of dismantling is looking brilliant ( so much scope to play with ) but we know you'll be spot on with the detail


Maybe your the next sunken treasure builder??

NO that's SiFi's domain

I've made a start on this kit for the second part of this SIG build

[papa 695]

Got some more of the new Airfix Beaufighter done. It's going together nicely but there are a couple of problems the join on the underside was a little large, and dry fitted the wings and the left hand wing root as a gap but that could be sorted with a little filing

[papa 695]

Well I'm getting this one to look like I want it too, but still plenty of work to do on it before it sees any paint
