These old kits are great, but some of them are special, this is one of them....

 

They can be built into museum quality display of a modelers talents....

 

That is what we are seeing here....

 

Impressive work my friend.... I hope mine comes out as well...

Love the detail of the cockpit Edward. You will still see some of your hard work through the canopy. 👍

Thankyou gentlemen.

I'm sure yours will turn out great, probably much better if I'm honest EG.😊

I did a dry fit of the canopy, and was surprised at how much could be seen, which after what I had to do getting the cockpit to fit in the fuselage is quite a relief.

A wooden ship time capsule, so to speak! Nice little touch!

I will now be able to use your Winnie log as a reference, now that you are passing where I've got to😉🤗 on mine.

Still doing the tidying up, paint touch ups etc..

Started to put the decals on

Thanks for the likes and looking in.

Cheers

I've been plugging away on the little bits, like the wheel well doors and touching up the paint.

the engine is fitted. 

Prop on a dry run

just a few little bits to do and soon the canopy will go on!

a reminder of the cockpit before it is never to be seen again!!!!

Thanks for looking in, the likes and comments. 

Cheers 

I'm in, this is one I looked at but it was out of stock so I got the Pup.

It's still out of stock at draf models😔

 Nice car, I'm in

For me, this trend is unsustainable. 

My thoughts exactly, the prices of what used to cost a couple of quid or less, is getting ridiculous 😵‍💫

My recently acquired Bf110, if brand new would have been, between £59 & £70 depending on who stocks it. I paid £16 on a fleabay auction.

A brilliant set up for an excellently finished plane, great work Craig!

Shame about Ramey Upcher, but it looks like you had fine weather and plenty of other things to see.

Is that plaque in Sheringham itself? I can't say as I've ever seen it🙄😔, quite a claim to fame though.

The pub looks nice, hope the lunch matched the appearance. 

Looks good to me.

How was your break? Norfolk wasn't it?

and welcome to MSW. 

Very nice display cabinet, and very nice models!

Damn Jack, I thought I'd be safe just putting Winchelsea chapters on my Xmas list.....😅

Scratchie, welcome to MSW 

I don't know how I've missed this Chris, but , are you sure it's a card model!?😉😇

Fantastic work!

I'm in too.

Small update, after rereading EG s post on the interior colour and the discussion over on Doc Robs tamiya corsair log, 

I did a repaint on the wheel wells.

This my version of salmon pink, one part tamiya flat red to 3 parts tamiya flat flesh.

Whilst painting the wells, the repair to the hinge I'd done decided to fail😶😬😔 so now the wings will be glued in the down position 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the likes and comments. 

Cheers

It's not too late for the wheel wells though.

Yep, that's what I'm going to do, I'd already painted all interior green but, same as you, will repaint the wheel wells.

Your engine looks superb btw

I hope the Admiral feels better soon!

I've been thinking about your trial at bending the tail and it springing back to the original shape, and Marks suggestion about a few wires here and there. If you used some clear, fine strong fishing line, it would be virtually invisible and hold the tail in position. 

Painting looks good, very realistic, dirty looking bleached bone colour. 

Best wishes for your op Bob and a speedy recovery. 

Ross, welcome to MSW 

I got to follow, it makes the 1/32 revell kit I'm working on look very basic😁😊.

It's  looking amazing so far. 

Yep the right side darker on👍

Done a little bit more, intermediate blue on the other wing and a coating of white

had to stop as I'm having trouble with the airbrush clogging up. So it's having a full clean with the parts soaking in cleaner fluid.

Thanks for dropping by and the 👍.

Cheers

To be honest, I put it to one side whilst I concentrated on Winchelseas stern and Q galleries and then I was tempted to the card side by persons unnamed 🤔😂😇

Then I thought I need to get the F4U-1A moved on. 

I'm sure you'll have a fine time in Sheringham. Enjoy! Are you going to take a trip on the NNR steam trains?

I'm in!
