Slow is not a problem Eric 😁. It helps as I find I don't make mistakes (as much) as when trying to push the build along. 

She's looking good now and is going to be a little beauty when she's done😊

Congratulations Edward. Your Dauntless came out beautiful. You did quite a nice work after 40 years of non participation. You caught on quickly.

 

Thank you Craig, I enjoyed it, and there's going to be at least one more!😏

Interesting little build😁

Are these going on a layout or a one off  diorama?

Well, it is now finished

Good job Jack, it's very red! We don't get many red ones over here, ours are very yellow,  or yellow and blue.  I like it😃😃

C-47. An enjoyable aircraft in virtually any of is iterations. 

I was thinking as a transport for 101st airborne on D-day

Unfortunately I do a lot of reading! 

Depends how you look at it, wether it's unfortunate. 

You'll never be short of subject matter🤓

Thanks Phil 👍😊

Picked US, British and German WWII tanks that "struck my fancy" and built them, but didn't do much digging into their history. 

That's basically how I pick all my models because if you like them you're more likely to finish them😋

I'm in !!😊

I've got Tora Tora Tora in my library........my favorite is the Blue Max.......went through hell finding a copy   

Is that the George Peppard WW1 movie? I like that one as well.😃👍

Why the minority on Sherman? 

Text blindness,  I meant definite in my liking of the Sherman 😖 

Battle of the Bulge, another favourite film of a desperate time, touch and go for the allies. Coincidentally just finished re-watching Band of Brothers  episode set in the Ardennes/Bastogne

Welcome to MSW Chuck 

Looks like you beat me to the Sherman 😉

Nice delivery for you Jack. I'm in the minority on my preference for the Sherman 😋

Welcome to MSW Alan 

Yep I'm in EG, gonna be a good looking car whatever colour you choose 😁👍

She's looking great Tom,

Guess I've been hanging out in the "non-ship" section to much! 

I know exactly what you mean, it kinda pulls you in, they are a very friendly bunch in there though 😊

I'll look forward to more updates on Niagara and your B-25👍😃

Mine hangs from the floor joists

That takes me back to being a child when I used to hang all my 1:72 planes from the ceiling with fishing line😊

Just now, VTHokiEE said:

Wow, that looks great! Great job! I’m looking forward to whatever you choose next (but please don’t neglect your ships too much I really want to see that Triton and Winchelsea come to light 😉).

Thanks, must admit I've stalled on Triton as I need some more wood but can't get it as the budget won't allow. As for Winchelsea I'm still fairing the hull and it is a BIG hull😲

What you need to do Edward is build a box that the plane sits in and paint the insides to look like the lower hanger deck of an aircraft carrier with the plane sitting on the elevator. Then make the outside of the box look all flowery. Then you can sit the box in the house and every now and then open the lid and up pops the plane on the elevator. She gets her pretty and you get to see your nice build a little more often. 

Thanks Lou, That's not a bad idea 🤣 I'll look into it!

Nicely done Edward.

Thanks Ken

Thankyou OC and Mark. 

There will be more, just don't know what yet! 

I think it may get a home in the workroom but I have keep the dust down. 

She's coming on fine J😉

Edward, check out my Dauntless 1:32 scale  . Not as good as yours tho.

That's a great looking plane Jack, fantastic detail and a fine job of a build. Thanks👍

think this is the prettiest scheme they had.....

 

Beautiful job my friend.... it a shame she's going to be a hangar queen, but I guess you have to follow the admiral's orders... :-)

Thanks EG and for the info on her.

Yep orders is orders. 

She'll get some missions now and then 😉

A lot of people do them red ochre, my carriages on Sherbourne are red.

My two pennies worth!!👍😀
