visit Cambridge / Oxford / or Bath
the first two for the university architecture - you will see nothing like it anywhere (I mean anywhere)
Cambridge is smaller, prettier and I think the Eagle pub in centre of town has a room out back dedicated to WWII airmen - lots of crew wrote their names in soot on the ceiling with candles etc, and they preserved it all with lacquer
you can also go punting - done it lots in Cambridge round 'the backs' (backs of the colleges)
Bath - stunning Georgian architecture and small enough city that you and family can get around it on foot
home to a top rugby team as well (i am biased!)
Scotland...hmmm - you've got all that scenery where you are and more
go there if you like whisky or a bitter people that hate the English
if you have time to spare happy to have a beer with you in my local - you can inspect the He111 prop blade that hangs on the wall...
have a great trip!

looks beautiful Jeroen!
what paints do you use again, and what colours for the upper wing roundels please?
-
because as Dave says, release in japan is delayed
for whatever reason, rest of world gets them beforehand
-

i love the finish - your stuff is always tops in that regard!
PCM kits in UK are either unobtainable or unobtainably expensive, so this is really the first time i have seen one of these built well, painted well and photo'd well
one question: what is the cowling flap part(s) like? the definition looks rather vague, as i can see where some wash 'held' and in other parts it presumably got wiped away because the parts were not moulded sharp enough?
thanks for sharing your excellent work!

beautiful as ever
may i ask which mag?
-
there is a comparison pic of these, revell, Hassy and G-Factor all together over on LSP - the Eduard ones look *extremely* compressed compared with the other three
any thoughts chaps?
-
what an awesome start!
i just love research driven threads like this
out of interest (and I suppose having Son of Sherman book I should know, but...) what identifies the tank with all the track over it as a Sherman V?
the angle is quite shallow so you can't really (to my eye) readily see the enlarged gap between the suspension bogies...
it is a VERY cool looking tank though!
cheers again for a very entertaining read

although i am not a fan of these US Spits, i really like the finish you have achieved
the dusty but not too over the top weathering looks just right to m eye
thank you for sharing

wonderful!
i must get to building these kits i have in mys stash
-
hey Steve
hope all is well and that you can come back soon
Nick
-
my point was the photos look exactly like the parts that i have handled in the past (and still have cowl ring and maybe other stuff in stash)
but if they are sharper in person then fair enough
-
hey Jim
i don't have the kit (yet!) but this would be one of the things i would look to correct
more of a commercial suggestion to Eduard than anything else, as I am sure others will bring part out - just that Eduard have it ready to go, so might as well take advantage etc etc
-
looks tip top
the cockpit is very sharply cast indeed cf the Eagle Editions Dora...
gun cowling:
will Eduard release this part on its own as a cheaper correction option for the Revell part, which I understand is not as good as it could be?
-
exceptional work and a joy to follow the build
thank you Rick!

firstly, i have used all these sets i think apart from the props on my Dora build, and was very satisfied
but if i am honest - and i may be flogged for saying so - the casting is indeed exactly the same standard as when these products came out many moons ago, and standards of the best in the industry have moved along since then
now maybe the stuff is way sharper in real life than in the (admittedly excellent quality) pictures, but the casting does look a tad 'vague' compared with what Roy Sutherland and the AMUR Reaver (Russian dude 109 stuff) are producing
i also find their stuff punishingly expensive in UK when compared to Roy's stuff of similar volume / complexity
still, for things like the cowling and nose ring, they are the only game in town
-
great stuff!

what he said!
this must be one of the few afternarket bits that hasn't been done yet - or so i thought!
how do they attach though??
