Neat, how do you attach the wiring so clean? Cheers Cees

Nice and busy. Cees

Special Hobby keep improving their kits. Very nice and complete package. Cees

Very nice paintwork Gus, very interesting subject too. Keep them coming. Cees

Very interesting. Let the feast commenceth. Cees

Painting it in fifty shades of white? Cees

Darn, he did it again! Great finish as ever. Cees

Nice work Tim, especially like the weight effect on the undercarriage due to the heavy bombs. Cees

Very very nice paintjob. How did you get the camouflage so perfectly executed? Cees

That was my intention too. Cees

Peter, Everytime you raise the bar. Some time ago we discussed on LSM what the future would have in store for us modellers, you show us just what that is. Really looking forward how the tyres and engine will turn out. Cheers Cees

Set of Goldfingers? Cees

For the Spitfire group build I got this:

Thanks Paul, Here's the solution: Very please with these. Cees

A few more: The nose intake Rockets in situ, I am not so happy with those, as they are quite crude. Haven't decided yet what to do. And the pigtail connectors in situ, the rocketfairings I scratchbuilt. The red represents a fabric covering strip.

Here's an overview of the recent progress on the Beau: I tried to represent the inner structure of the canopy using brass rod that was superglued to the inside. After masking this was painted interior green, the outside was painted green as well to represent the strips on the inside. After that I cut small strips of aluminium tape to represent the strips on the outside and later painted the exterior colour. The tape can be slightly sanded to represent wear and the metal colour to shine through. Very effective, and the ragged edges of green on the inside was on purpose as this shows the aluminium as well on the inside and represent interior wear and tear. This tape has a lot of uses. The propellers were made using Jerry Rutmans resin hamilton standard prop hubs and some drastic surgery to the kit prop blades. Now they better represent the slender DH propblades. The MDC rockets, I could only use four out of eight as some were badly warped and even hot water couldn not get them into shape So glad this photo posting problem has been solved. Now I can post that Whirwind book review at last. Hope you like the progress on the Beau so far. A lot of it was re- and scratchbuilt, but a great journey. Only thing left to do is to crashform the observers canopy. Until next time Cees

I hate it, it's too beautiful LOL Very nice matey. Cees

Hi Mark, I like the weathering of the seats. Very nice build. What's your opinion of the HK Models B-25. Cheers Cees

Thanks, but this is a pic uploaded from my iPad filmrol as an attachment. I don't think it!s the way to do it. . Why it came out upside down I dont know. Still working on the photoposting problem. The Beau is almost finished bar the observers canopy which needs to be crashmoulded. Cees

Oh what a feeling, putting a Beaufighter on the ceiling ( cue Lionel Ritchie......) Cees

Test

Ver very nice, I always liked the good old P40 series. I plan to do a Dutch N in the future. Cheers Cees

Just noticed this build. The cockpit looks very nice. As you have already done most of the interior the need for pe is almost useless? Or are you planning on an exterior set. Cheers Cees

Peter, What amazes me is that you seem to get it right in one try. With scratchbuilding you are usually working on the second or third tries to get a good fit without other parts getting in the way. Mindblowing craftsmanship as always. Cheers Cees

That Chick is indeed slick. Cees
