No black humour, but Jeroen is correct. I had been burned out after doing long drawn projects without even a chance of finishing one within a reasonable timescale. To get the juices flowing again I got myself the Hasegawa P-40E. And it has given back my mojo and enjoyment in modelling. I have been looking at Danny's build and the P-47 has a similar style as the P-40. I intend to build one myself after the Warhawk is finished. Looking great Danny, you have really got it up to speed. Cheers Cees

You are on a role by the look of that. Very nice. Black humour....woohahah!

I remember it was very warm there.......zzzzzzzzzzzzz

A needy for sure.

Nice subject, I was amazed when they pulled the aircraft from the lake and the condition was amazing. Some very nice pics on facebook regarding the restoration to fly. Cees

That's a massive improvement, nice scratchbuilding.

Thanks Jan, That would make one impressive model.

Any pics or a link somewhere?

Always nice to see some paint splattered on the plastic. Those flaps look great, these are the metal ones right?

Ahh I saw it high up on the shelf last saturday. You need the ladder to get it

I had started the Fly Hurricane I but I got burned out on the flash and ill fitting parts so binned it. Just got me a Hasegawa P-40E with Eduard interior set this afternoon. I need a quick easy build for once. Haven't finished a kit in three years, about time. Cees

Craig, Once this masterpiece is finished not a lot of that wonderful bombbay can be seen. How are you going to display it?

Hello Jorge, Welcome to LSM, make yourself af home here. Looking forward to see your models. Cheers Cees

Very nice model, I like the colour scheme.

Absolutely amazing and in my opinion the build of the year already. Your perseverence is amazing Tom. Something I can learn from.

I read somewhere that it is a very useful tool. I have been looking for one of these or a Vac-U-Form to do canopies, but haven't gone any further than looking. What kind of plug does it have?

Like the rivetting very much, how do you keep those lines straight?

Eggsellent, and some very nice subtle weathering too. Amazing job.

Oww...

I welcome it as I had a Hasegawa D lined up for a Dutch build, a new tool is a better option. And they will be releasing a Spitfire IX in march too.

Sufficient modelling

Fantastic, the lighting indeed makes it very captivating. Well done, and that is the ancient Revell 109 isn't it?

Now that's a very nice package. Who would have thought of that.

Well it definately looks very much better. How did you manage to smooth things out, using a wet finger? Cees

Look at those pics, will keep you motivated until the HKM Lancaster appears. https://www.facebook.com/aircraftrestorationcompany/photos/pcb.698738416949495/698728806950456/?type=3&theater Cees
