Old Collingwood

Not so much  an update  just a  brief type thing - I painted the bomb bay doors, they are waiting to be seperated then painted inside and weathered  then have thier  linkages attached and linked to the fuselage.

OC.

Excellent work  - you should be very proud.

OC.

That looks superb   really impressive  dio.

I took this at an airshow last year  - not sure if it helps?

That is impressive, OC.  Years ago someone did the Battle of Gettysburg (US Civil War battle) and it was huge and impressive also.

Instead I just got all my  soldiers out all over the living room floor  my mum used to go mad as she couldn't move for treading on my armies.

Internet pic of above site.

OC.

The pic above  was nearly in the dark, the imminunation off a  small sensor light created the shadow  (thats why I took that shot)   because of the  darkness  it needed ISO 2000  hence why it is grainy.

Just love the moodyness of an late night  dark shot  with taht shadow.

The standard of photography on this site is normally exceptional. I suppose numpty's like me have come to take it for granted.

A dedicated camera doesn't have to be expensive; I've been using a Fujifilm Z2 compact for years which I bought second hand and it was ten years old when I got it. Every time I download to my laptop I'm astonished how good it is. Stay safe.

What I will do  Is to do some updated pics now I have my  phone camera working better  (same one I use for my  aircraft builds  in here)   I have some work to do on the Ole Girl  (new chain)   so will do some fresh pics then.

OC.

Very cool  mate,   I remember building that version with the trailer  - if memory  serves me right  think it came with cardboard  boxes and plastic jerry cans.

Hi, I was hunting around and found your build, which looks like a grand job, I hope you don't mind me saying how disappointed I am with the fuzzy photography. I've trawled through 3 or 4 pages and given up. Such a shame.

At first my  phone/camera was playing up  hence why some of the pics were fuzzy, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

OC.

Just a couple of pics to show the  fuselage/wing  joining, as I said  needs a bit of  filling.

OC.

Hi all,   right here is the  first  camo coat on the spit  - out of the box and  de gased.

OC.

Evening all. or shall I say  morning / afternoon to my friends,   so  after spending an afternoon in the back yard,   I decided to  work on the  bomb bay  parts still needed, I started by spraying the bomb bay doors - then put them away in the box to dry,   next  I put the Four 500Lb  HP  bombs together  inlcuding slimming down the rear fin area, they still need spraying Green  and having the Red and white rings  painted on.

OC.

Thats our family on here for you  - looking out for each other.

OC.

That looks like a perfect space.

Help may come from different places, indeed, OC.   Looking great.

Thank you Mark.

OC.

Just had a cheeky peep  at the first couple of Grey layers I sprayed on the other day  - looking nice,  love the way the panel lines really show through the paintwork   - love this Eduard kit.

OC.

Do you know Phil, some people build a  kit  using normal  routines and  straight forward precedures,   then  someone like yourself says  "heck that  - that aint enough  - I want to put my own stamp on it"     that is what you are doing  - its not just boat building or even scratch building,   its Artistry my friend.

Keep going  this is a Special build.
