Some weathering to be done,and more tiny bits to be added to the wings, I'm looking forward to getting this one over the line now.Been good fun,but becoming a chore!! :flushed:
Cheers for now,
Andy

I get to that point in every build….usually gets better towards the end as I can see the end. The Avenger is really trying my patience at the moment. Every single fit has to be opened out as it’s too tight…..really slows the build down :disappointed2:

Well, despite the poor pictures,I'm getting to the end of this one now :thumb2: ....
Got the decals on,small and large!!.. Also sealed it all with Semi gloss,so,it should be all completed tomorrow .. although I do have to do the open cockpit stuff with the MG too..





So there it is.. crap pictures,and not great scenarios... But it's nearly done,and I'll get better pictures up when it's complete

Mighty fine job you 2 are dong, Mr Smiff!!! That is looking great with the decals on it too!!! I'm afraid I have to agree with your note under the post. I have also been seriously bitten by these damn wing thing machines......Is there a cure Andy???...Or are we just having a great time building them...

Thanks very much mate :thumb2: ..
.. as for the Wingy thing bug... As far as I'm concerned at the moment..
... There's no getting away from it

[Allen Dewire]

Yup!!! I'm afraid you are so correct my friend!!! I just wish the heat wave here would subside so I can drive on at the table on my floaty bird...Best wishes to Rach and Cohan too. Hope all is well in uptown Devon!...
