I hope my build will be of help to you.

Today I started painting the interior and doing a little bit of work on the cockpit. I plan to use a Eduard PE cockpit set I've had on hand for years. It was meant for the Monogram/Promodeler kits but I think it will work okay with this one. I also will substitute some props from a Monogram/Promodeler kit which are a bit more accurate. I also have some old True Details tires that I intend to use.

Looks really good in the box so we will see.

That sucks big time. I hope you can find a source that will work out okay.

Thank you Rob! I very much appreciate that. -
I have decided to go ahead and get started on this kit. Should make a good looking model. This is the scheme I plan to go for (unless I change my mind at some point).

The one time I used them they were very slow.

Thank you Bill! The RAF Interior Grey Green you sent me sure came in handy on this build! -
I've been looking for decals for this a/c in 1/48 for my HK B-17G build but I haven't been able to find any. Do any of you know if there is a sheet I could snag? Thanks!!

I think I will bide my time and see who all has it and what they are charging, etc.

Thanks Gaz!! -
As always with Tamiya the build was very enjoyable with few snags (self inflicted usually!). I decided to depict Johnnie Johnson's Mk IX as it likely looked on D-Day. I wasn't able to find any photos that showed the whole a/c except for one with no invasion stripes. Probably taken at a much later date as the codes were a little different and the a/c looked a bit worn. After market items added were brass Master Barrel cannons of the correct type, Barracudacast main wheels and seat. I replaced the kit gunsight with one from my spares box which is of the gyro stabilized type. After it was installed and the windscreen in place I read that Johnson preferred the older type. Oh well. Paints are mostly Xtracolor but the stripes are MM. Decals are a mix of kit decals Eaglecals and others from my extensive spares/leftover stash. Thanks to Carl (BlrwestSir) for the JE-J masks! I didn't do any weathering except for some exhaust stains as I figure, as a Wing Commander, the ground crew kept the a/c in clean condition. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts.

LOL Maybe they will make a exception!

I saw that too Harv but was able to make myself wait! The shipping would likely be pricey.

Thanks Rob. I look forward to getting one!
-
