Very nice John, Shall we call it the Shelf of Delay from now on? Cees

Considering your opinion I rate this kit unbuildable. Cees

Mike, That looks fantastic please make it a separate thread for all of us to enjoy. Cheers Cees

There's no stopping you! But then again you like 'em dirty. Wonderful.

Bombdoors are on! Cees

It wil certainly not be at Telford, it has been three times before. The last time I kept on reparing transit damage. Gus, don't worry the joint is very firm and I make it a habit to hold the fuselage at the wingattachement area. Cees

Some more work of the messy kind. The seam where I had sawn off the cockpit had to be made good. Due to a slight unevenness this could be a problem. as Lancasters had fabric tape around the transportjoint I figured the Manchester would too. So a trialfit was done with some blue tape I had lying around. Also some panellines had to be rescribed. Cees

Thanks and yes satisfaction is part of modelling. Just as selfdoubt but some more progress. the rudders are almost finished with both counterweights and the rudder tab linkages finished bar some refinement. next, the elevator hinges to cover the rods that fits the elevators to the stabilizer. Cees

Thanks chaps. Just doing what I think is best but any tips are welcome. I seem to be making lots of mistakes before an acceptabel result is achieved. First rudder counterweight using steelrod. Another hurdle overcome. now to make the other one. cheers Cees

I was more hoping to hear some tips or critique that I can learn from.

Good to know nobody is interested then

And the trimtabs are fitted. Linkages to follow. Outer fins are loosely fitted. Cees

After some 4 years the fuselage is whole again. I forgot what a big stick it is. filling, sanding to follow. After that the details to complete the fuselage will commence. The fun work so to say. The fuselage will be completed including camouflage and markings etc. before work om the wings start. Finally getting somewhere. Cees

Got one. Cees
