Nice read that. -
Halinski is known for this level of detail and you sir are pulling off one fine build. I am in awe.
-
Could also be for hoisting new equipment up to the top of that tower, Sheaves and duct work break occasionally so they plan ahead for replacements. And the whole place was dusty from grain.
-
Hard trials and great tribulation, Rob. The wheels look the real deal, nicely done. I feel your pain on the fitting of components.
-
I'm in too. My reads of clandestine ops into France mage me curious about this a/c.
-
Well done, Andy. A tough paint scheme to cover the airframe, but you've got it down. 👍
-
Great start, Eric. I'll be following this project.
-
This kit looks loaded with detail, Alan. I, too, will be following.
-
Rob, your finish is superb. Looks like you clayed the jewel. 👍
-
Wow, that is busy! And you have some more to add. Oy!
-
Busy compartment.Amazing how they shoehorn all the components in there. All you're missing is the oil sheen.
-
Your loadout is very plausible, Andy. Modern day training ordnance has a shackle in the widest point of the practice bomb, just like yours seem to do. 👍
-
Definite kudos to Tamiya for that kind of support. Paint is an outstanding cover.

We've got 3-4 Great Horned owls up here in the woods. The Admiral has a phone app to sort the assorted noises. There are a number of different species around here. Crows, Canada Geese and cardinals predominate.predominate

Sweet finish. Turning out great.
-
You're doing the Blairstown proud with this build. And lucky that you did find that errant sheave.
-
Those brake linkages look correct; nicely detailed. Glad you're adding the other carriages.
-
Rob, nicely done finish. The paint looks like it lays down nice and smooth. The color looks great.
-
Yellow always seems to be the most troublesome color to apply, followed by red. Your efforts will pay off soon, Andy.

I've seen several modeling organizations us the various categories working your way up to a Master Modeler. Like Grant says, you're a master here. Unfortunately, many of our glues don't handle big temperature swings. Using CA to attach Photo etch is probably the worst, popping off at a bad time. Best cure for that is canopy glue and similar glues. They stay flexible enough to prevent separations.

Denis, welcome back. Like EG says, we missed you. And with another cool build. Too bad about Gibbs; tough to lose a well loved pet.
-
Jav, interesting method for building up the fuselage. And yes these were very chipped a/c. This will be a cool build. 👍
-
I'll second Chris's recommendation. I've been fascinated with the Battle of Britain, ever since I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. There's also a video of this book.I watched in on our Public Broadcasting Network. Seems they played many British programs

That was pretty common, here in the US. Photos of the first in a series of rolling stock and steam locos were actually whitewashed to show off the underframes and running gear, since these were black and white photos. The practice disappeared with the advent of the post war colorful diesels and color film.

Nice recovery, Roel. And yes, the black line is almost invisible.
