Excellent and perfect start, so neat………some of the PE is a tad small on this…….

Never worked with 3D printed parts but these do look a little delicate in places. There is some great detail but I’d be scared of breaking a lot of the components…….looking forward to a WIP on this one…..

Thanks Gaz, I must admit it’s the first time I’d seen the extra roof armour…..I’ll look out for the grey barrels…..never seen the roof armour on a Dragon kit……

Going for the tri colour scheme Rob, the “sand” is the base, I’ve attached albeit temporarily the screens etc ……..compressor on and away we go…..

Appreciated Harv …..

and the likes of RFM for in some cases just over half the price, good score on the Dragon Gaz. So wish I had a club near me……..

New scalpel blade and carefully run around the panel as many times as required to scribe through it…….that’s how I do it!!!…….working in the design industry, I’ve never had to buy a set of scalpel blades so I tend to change them regularly……my go to blades are always Swann & Morton ………….

So now attaching all of the shields, doors and track mudguards so when I apply the camo it matches across all the elements………wish me luck……

Bench time is a little curtailed at present but…….base for the camo finished…….

Do you know the year of manufacture?……..big no no this side of the pond in working order, I think if they are decommissioned there ok, I think…….you have to jump through hoops just to get a shotgun license for clay shooting…….

Very very nice Rob, I want a bike now……

Rog, you have to show us your stash a some point……….nice haul and a few years building there…….

another genre to wrap our minds around…….I’ve built 00 (as finescale EM/P4) but never 32nd in railway…..looking forward to the next instalment……..

How did you find the Fly Hurricane, you get differing view points?

Thanks Peter, for once in the UK it’s hot and sunny, so being on furlough, I’ve taken to the garden with the Ju88 engines for a bit of al fresco bench time…..

Peter I reckon that’s a good course of action, you’re right about dust as well my builds are like a massive magnet to dust…….the open canopy would also show your immaculate pit if you decide to go that way…..here’s hoping the canopy arrives soon…..

Gaz, my concern as well, the new Ju88 has to be buttoned up

Having two projects in the spray booth, I was missing the smell Xtra Thin in the morning plus the whole building process……..so…….I present the ICM Junkers Ju88A-11, this was the tropical version of the venerable A4. This will be a new build in many ways, first ICM kit, first German bomber and first German aircraft in the display case. Hope you will join me for the odyssey…..

Stunning John, shiny shiny…….

Peter, glad to see something on the bench, I built the SH Tempest V hi tech. Test fit the cockpit tube assembly against the wing and fuselage when taped together. On mine had to do some grinding before it sat correctly……yours will fit perfectly……….pulling a chair….

Gaz, looking very very tidy…….can’t wait for the camo stage…

Peter, that’s just bad luck, the build looks absolutely stunning. Glad you have a plan…..

Harv, sorry to hear about the problems, get better buddy or at least so you can get some bench time in…..

Mandatory return to the office but without any guidance on social distancing, masks or COVID prevention / mitigation measures. Their attitude is, there is no pandemic just get back in the office and get on with it……..the main reason for taking umbrage to this stance, is that my wife is clinically vulnerable because of underlying health issues. So I have to protect her and be mindful of what I may be subjected to…….

Crunch week this coming week, my company are putting staff in a position which I am personally not happy with, so…….basically I maybe retiring this coming week……..
