Ian, great intro to the project, I never realised the 100 Squadron was 1 Group.......sitting back and waiting for the next instalment......

Looking good, never done any stand alone artillery pieces......hmmmmm

Pit done, great doing Harv, those belts are fiddly, the 51 ones are metal so I find them a little more forgiving......

Thanks Harv, when are you starting yours........

I to find intriguing, nice neat riveting, around compound curves do you use a flexible guide....

Another update, so with the IP and side walls complete, time to do the aux tank and radios, added some wiring to embellish the area and tried to get a insulated covering on to the aux tank. Engine coming on slowly, tried a new method here, AK extreme aluminium and the over sprayed with Vallejo RM66. When rub it the alumni shows through, early stages yet but it might work....... Also tried the radiators again using AK True Metal gunmetal and then added a black wash over it. After drying buff as required. ........The seat is the mid production 51 seat with Eduard belts, they have to tidied and secured to look right.....

Thanks for posting Fran

I’m intrigued because this a B Mk 1, I’m not sure if the later marks superseded the Mk 1. I also didn’t realise that the Mk X coming out of Canada had the Packard Merlins, which apparently caused havoc when they were sent to RAF squadrons rather than RCAF. The RAF had no spares for the Packard as they were very slightly different.

I’ve read good things about these Quinta products, looking good.....

Thanks Steve for sharing this with us, very envious......be safe....

Happy new year Gaz, how was it.......

Happy new year everyone let’s hope and pray 2021 is kinder and safer for all of us....... Also BIG SHOUT OUT to all the admin guys here at LSM, you guys are the best, thank you for another brilliant year....... Hip Hip...........

I like it a lot Gaz, I hear what you say about the photography mine sucks. I think we are all self critical of our builds. I looked back my first finished project I posted here, IMHO it was poor. Each build I try something, as you have with the figures. To me they look good, I don’t even try, as again I suck at them.......

Nice one Graham, all I need now is a big Lanc to hang it off..........

Just be careful of that huge squirrel that’s roaming around North America...........

Absolutely stunning congrats

Not that many then Smitty, imagine what the tooling costs would be for all of them,.........

Thanks Harv, much appreciated, deep into my ZM P51 so not sure if next years list will be very long.....

Thanks Jeff, you’re very kind, yes it’s Mackie’s. Didn’t want to to do Clostermans as you see everywhere,

The cats won’t use is a litter tray will they?............looking great Carl

Wolf, great to see you over in this neck of the woods, stunning build......

I’m sure you’ve seen this page...... https://www.bombercommandmuseum.ca/bomber-command/bomber-command-no-424-tiger-squadron/ Didn’t realise they were so late converting, half way through the 6 Group history. Presumably they were flying the Hally with Hercules engines up until then....

Thanks Carl, this is the most I have ever completed in one year.....

Well that was one hell of a year..........but let’s put that behind us and I present to you my small build output ......all LSM bar the F4J, a couple of them shelf queens....... Dragon Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf G - Afrika Korps. This is the orange super value pack boxing and a great kit........didn’t ever do a finished album of this...... Tamiya Tiger I late production with Eduard AM and metal barrels......build for the Normandy GB.... Special Hobby Tempest V Hi Tech Zoukie Mura F4J Phantom II - 1/48.........sublime kit...... Takom Grant III. Tamiya Kubelwagen Type 82. Thanks for looking and happy new year to you all and your loved ones........here’s to a better 2021.....

No purchases this year for obvious reasons but did get the Tamiya P38 for Christmas last year, it does look amazing. I still have the Eduard boxing of the Academy Early P38’s with all the resin and AM. I am tempted to use some of the Eduard AM and resin to embellish it even more........
