Actually Danish. Cees

Looking for info on the cannon bays next tot the cockpit (the port side). Compartment structure, cannon mountings etc. Anyone? Cees

Beware of the gunsight though, it's open at the front and very visible so from .....the front. I left it alone this time. Cees

Hear hear! Mine is just from the box. Next one will be better I hope Cees

Nice, but tricky to cut the kit part out? Cees

Nobody's preventing you from starting it Jameseybaby Cees

Nice, not me for me this time. I want to finish it first. Perhaps the second one. The Meteor was called the Meatbox, so sort of meatfest. Cees

Harris couldn't care less about that. Cees

Hi Ben, Nice of you to join me with the Meteor. Just one suggestion. The early Meteors used a metal Hurricane-style seat. Not surprsingly as Glosters Built the Hurricane in large numbers. Cees

Thanks Gigantor, Will take it with me at the next meeting. Cees

Tom, That's true, but the weakness was caused by an inferior manufacturing process. The legs were cast instead Of forged. That caused the legs to crack under high load. Therefore the Mk V was used for glider towing. The Lancaster couldn't do that. Harris was biased. The Halifax was not a bad design but development Took some time. The Hercules versions were equal or better than the Lancaster. Then again I am Biased too heh heh. Cees

Tom, good to see you attending those nagging bits, better do it now while it still can be done. The Halifax and Lancaster tyres are identical. Even the Stirling shares the same hub. Some nice Standardisation. The Mk V Dowty landinggear is totally different from the Lancaster though. Only the same manufacturer. Cees

James, Apart from the seat cushion and seatbelts everything is sprayed tarblack and anthracite with some Drybrushing. Only the gunsight left before the canopy will be fitted. Want to finish this soon. Cees

This is a kit I have been working on for two weeks now. It's the forthcoming HK Models Gloster Meteor Mk 4. Almost ready for the high speed silver coat. I will finish this in a Dutch livery. This is the first jet I am working on for many years. I really enjoy it. Cees

Me likey! Ceed

Hi Carl, You are exactly in the right spot. What a great work. Always wanted to know how a patternmaker Does his work. Question, what is more important, drawings or photographs? Welcome to LSM. Cees

Nice, I am looking forward to see the Fokker DXXI Cees

You really have captured the character of the B17 Tom. Great work. And an understanding wife really helps too. Cheers Cees

Closing in towards the finishline ( oops) Cees

Peter, Seems like you have really earned that cigar. The cowling looks great now everything has a uniform Colour. Cees

The Denmark Uhu was a bit errr...distressed. But a great find. Cees

LSMM? Large Scale Micron Modeller? Cees

Hi Mike, Nice subject. Now where did I put that popcorn? Cees

Perhaps you can glue it together again. And use it as master to smashform a replacement? Cees

Erik, You certainly know your one-oh-fours. Well done. Very comprehensive review. You may lie down now. Cees
