    I like it, but you do know the Mustangs wings were puttied with ACME putty to seal any panel seams. This was to keep the laminar flow laminar. In service it did not work out that well with squashend insects, muddy groundcrewboots, wear tear etc.. Cees

    Peter, Another epic update, you make it look so simple but then again so is math ( if you have a feeling for it). Really looking forward to see it ( and you) at Telford. Perhaps your skills may lead me towards Trying that scratchbuilt Hampden one day, as I don't see Tiggers's Models repairing the moulds. Cees

    Very nice, building two very detailed kits at the same time too. Cees

    That Airfix is bringing out the cardoor as well demand for 1/24 must be healthy, which is a good thing. Cees

    Wow, what a looker! Cees

    SH Tempest is inching closer and closer. Just wait and see. Cees

    Update(ish) Fitted the waistguns and ammobelts. Had to enlarge the slots in the fuselage a bit to get them to sit horizontal. Otherwise fit is good. Cees

    Good to see Airfix bringing this version out in 2016. and the Mosquito FB VI will be re-released again, so they are very active in this scale. According to the net they are already working on a new 1/24 kit. But that will take a few years. Won't be surprised if a testshot of the cardoor will be at Telford. Cees

    Very nice attention to detail. Cees

    The SAC maingear legs would not fit into the wing sockets without a large amount of work, bending the legs in the process. The noseleg fits very loose in the socket, but that has the advantage that it can be fitted later in the build. But the attachment to the wheel looks to be very weak. Cees

    Hey, pay attention at the back! No reason to be sloppy LOL. http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/new_typhoon_and_heinkel/ Cees

    Plodding along today, The tailgunassembly has been dryfitted between the fuselage halves, fit is OK. Also here are the waistguns with ammunitionbelts straight from the box, impressive. The barrels are seperate making them easier to install or replace with aftermarket. Cees

    Yep, I'm a plodder bigtime. Cees

    Take your time Pete, you are not in a hurry, though we are an impatient bunch here heheh.... Good luck with the exams. Cheers Cees

    Did some painting of the ammunitionbelts, straight from the kit they are quite nice. I like the basic but general good level of detail. It is up to the Modeller how time and aftermarket you wish to spend here. Cees

    Now that would be a lot of plastic. I like that idea. Cees

    Thanks mate, Still doing some more research while the interior is progressing, I usually concentrate on getting the airframe together first. The rear fuselage was indeed a bit bare, and you know I always want to change something. I hope to keep the turret anyway, must be my innerchild hehe. Cees

    Indeed, amazing the way the weathering just looks real. Cees

    Thanks chaps, Well I do have Luuk's book as well as Gerben Tornij's book on the Dutch Mitchells. I have seen a pic of a half nmf and half olive drab aircraft with large Dutch flags. Must look great with a very faded olive drab weathered finish. Cees

    What pressure would be best without the paint hitting the surface too hard to prevent puddles? I use Revell Aqua And thin to a 50:50 ratio. Although airbrushing large areas works really well, it's the smaller parts that sometimes Make painting difficult. Cheers Cees

    And the winneeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr is........George. Heheh, nothing wrong with that. Cheers Cees

    Interior and bits sprayed green. This decalsheet will be used for the Dutch livery. Haven't exactly made up my mind yet which one. The Dutch used D and J model B-25's with the most obvious difference being the location of the dorsal turret. The J- model had it fitted just aft of the cockpit. Cees

    Good idea. It's a great kit. Cees
  24. Wingco57
    Well it works just like the real one then. Well done hehe. Cees
  25. Wingco57
    Fully agree, But the legs are fitted and the nacelles too. Will take some effort to clean up the seams, but nothing major. The bombbay was sprayed aluminium and given a Flory wash. Probably need another try as it is a bit too light. Will probably fit one or two bombs. Cees
