Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 2, 2019 Author Administrators Posted April 2, 2019 That flap set looks insane. 3
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 2, 2019 Author Administrators Posted April 2, 2019 So, some news here on this one. There may be a solution to the treaded tire situation and possibly some of the little bibs and bobs that were added to these machines as well. There might even be some good news on decals. 4

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 7, 2019 Author Administrators Posted April 7, 2019 All will be invisible, but oh well. Absolutely nothing is being done behind the Naviguesser’s table. I’m not sure if it’s correct for the year, but oh well, it is what it is. 10
Martinnfb Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Looking busy Ernie, I am not sure if anything will be visible once you zip it up. Good show anyway. Cheers M. 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 7, 2019 Author Administrators Posted April 7, 2019 Exactly Martin, it’ll all go away forever. I’ll touch up the oscilloscope screen and add a few wires, just in case, as it’s right behind the pilot, visible with a penlight. Behind this, it’s a black void. Like trying to understand Hungarian. A few wires must be added along the cockpit sidewall as well. Then a good wash to give it 20 years of hard use, and together she goes. 4
BlrwestSiR Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Ernie, it looks great. I ran into the same dilemma on the B-25s which is why I scaled it back on the second one. Carl 5

Carl Expand Yup, Carl, with the halves together, the interior can be seen back to the first third of the Nav table. With the canopy on, and with the rear canopy painted over, very little will be seen. It is pretty redundant to do this much work. 5
seiran01 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Looking good Ern! Bits & bobs will be in the mail tomorrow or Tuesday. Martin- what are the drones under the wings of the pic you posted on the first page? Firebees? 4
smitty44 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I suddenly have so few parts left in the kit box it is insane. The engineering is done well enough, that with a jar of Tamiya extra thin, you can just cruise along. I will have paint on at 4 months, for a four engine bomber that bodes well. SO many huge planes in the line up to build. Now we just need a stand that will fit these beasts. 3

The feeling I should be building instead of taking pictures, and the fact looking at pics of your build after the fact always seems to make it look not too flattering. 5

Expand very true, yet by taking pictures you can discover details that you missed out , annoying but effective 2
smitty44 Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 This is how it will be finished. British built, but RCAF operated. Sorry Ernie….. 8

Expand Yours looks great Smitty. If you're on Facebook, Kyle at Wheels & Wings (my LHS) is doing the same scheme on a build for their store. It's worth checking out for some inspiration. Carl 5
