Hi all "Are you stil there", I am getting back on this very soon and giving my Waterloo figs a little break, I have sent off for some more Tamiya Surface Primer - waiting for it to arrive, in the mean time I will prep her ready for the primer, I will have to mask up the main sliding canopy then temp attach it down possilbly with some blue tack inside the glazing onto the top of the Bang Seat, then it will be a case of checking all over her before laying down the primer.

It's a treat, Denis. Pull the trigger, snap goes the hammer(this was a percussion cap style), one sec or so, bang and a cloud of sulfurous smoke envelopes you. We called 'em smoke sticks. And I think the French pronounce your name Denny. Of course, I could be full of soup, but what else is new, eh?
And dont foreget the deafening noise from the "Bang" I understand a famous word between troops was "Pardon" or "Whatttttt"

Evening all, more work in progress will show after I have finished "Running Man", the admiral came up with a good idea - I should give them names after all my friends on here - wonder who could be who?

Have you started naming your "players"?
Yep, he is "Bluey" dont know why😛 I think next will be "Pinky" - only joking thought it more interesting to give them an identity.

Thanks! I have been looking at pictures of cannons this evening and they did all appear to be pushed right up tight. It’s good to have some confirmation to my research.
This is an interesting idea that I may play around with and see which I prefer. Thanks again!
No problem at all - glad to help if I can.🙂

I prepared one cannon and decided that one of my side tackles is a little longer than I want going forward (the visible tackle is the long one). Should the cannon trucks be right up against the bulwa rk? This isn't glued in yet.
Edit: Currently redoing the longer tackle, it bothered me too much already 😂I think they push them right against the bulkhead for maximum recoil so the cannon works at it best, if you wanted to show some life on her, you could also display a few recoiled back with tight ropes.
Spledid work you are doing everything looks the part.

Thought you might find this useful as it shows different mods to improve the kit - gonna be an epic build.

I have always been a B-17 guy but the B-24 was considered the faster of the two planes. In most other ways they were similar and the people who used them seemed to prefer them over the B-17 in most ways.
I have the Osprey in my collection as well Denis. I have always liked them in spite of their early reputation and problems. We have a few around here and one thing is certain, you know it when one flies over................. They are LOUD.
Start a build Lou - would love to see it.

"Wowzer" you have some nice stuff to keep us glued, the B24s always looked to heavy to fly to me, and the B25 - I am sure my dad used to speak about them when they were over this side of the wet stuff, and the Osprey - what an amazing Heliplane/Planecopter - I have seen a few at shows and even the one over the top of us.
Got my camping gear out ready for these.

You have done a fine job of her - remember its a very old kit and it takes talent to do what you did.

Requires abit of adjusting to get the fit right no doubt - just apply the notion "test fit three times - cut once" just keep checking things before cutting material away - saves many tears latter (We have all been there)
