Amazing skills and finish, Jeroen. You should leave her that way. Love the PE-work and can only assume the patience needed.

Cheers Rob

Thnx Rob,

the only reason i’m not cutting any corners here is that i pass the crash site and graves every day on my way to work.

this is the god’s honest truth.

No I get that and wholeheartedly agree!  I was referring to me personally.  No decent 32 model, we grab a good 48 kit. Or 72 in the case of An-22

Exactly! If a 32 scale kit was available that would be a no brainer...

Lovely work Jeoren. Wimpy has a place in my hearth . As a kid I use to read stories of Czechoslovak airmen from 311 squadron, that flew them over the darkness of the enemy territories . Scary to think what those guys had to go thru . 

Once again mighty fine work, I had a chance to spare a word or two with the Eduard team in Phoenix and I have to admit, what a bunch of nice and creative folks.

,,,if I may suggest something to consider, please check out this video, and the colouring/wear difference present on the bombs, as the casted body was attached to the stabilizing part.

Hi Martin, thnx!!

the video you post shows an early wimpy. This means the bombs are mustard yellow. My wimpy is late and had green bombs. A darker shade of green and shorter bomb tails.

oh snap, apologies.  

[Clunkmeister]

The wimpy has got to be my favorite WW2 Brit bomber. Yup, even over the Lanc.

Almost ready to close the fuselage.

 Ik heb deze SUPERB-build gelezen.

 

het is fantastisch.

BRAVO

 

 

[Bomber_County]

Jeroen, unbelievably beautiful, will you be able to view the mid section when buttoned up?.......congrats 

Phil.

[DocRob]

Perfect Jeroen and I like your passionate approach to history you show with that project. Can't say that I'm waiting for the Wellington to be finished, because that will hinder the view from savor the inner section of the fuselage .

Cheers Rob

[GusMac]

Wow, that interior is absolutely stunning. 

[Grunhertz]

Just gorgeous jeroen

MY  MOM was half Indian and half South African and Her MOM was South African so a little bit Afrikaans /similar to Ditch was spoken in the house. 

Thank you.

That´s some serious progress you got there Jeroen, keep it going!

[Peterpools]

Jeroen

Brilliant; simply brilliant interior

Keep 'em comin

[Bomber_County]

Any new pics.........Phil.

[JeroenPeters]

Some progress. Fit is pretty decent so far.

Adding some more PE for the bomb aimer:

here’s the wings dry fitted:

the place i’m pointing at is where my house is today. The crash site is smack in the middle of the base.

[Grunhertz]

Great idea jeroen. It's a nice size for 1/48 isn't it? 

[GusMac]

Looks great on the base Jeroen. Your nice straight roads there make it looked almost like a tiled base.
