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. OC.- 436 replies

Thought you might find this useful as it shows different mods to improve the kit - gonna be an epic build. http://www.hmshood.com/hoodtoday/models/trumpeter/trumpeter200.htm OC.

Start a build Lou - would love to see it. OC.

"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. OC.

Very very nice work - more of an architectural builder than a model maker. OC.

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

Thank you so much Denis - yep paint is a funny thing but I think I have it sussed now, the knee is still painful to touch (I go "ouch" when our dog jumps on my lap and puts her paws on my knee) but its ok to walk on. OC.

Welcome to the club Greg, as the others have said - there is lots and lots of useful info from some very talented builders. OC. -
Evening all, a tiny bit of progress today - I finished off another Voltigeur. OC.

Just to add to everyones help - the Tamiya Acrylics are Not water based but use a different medium for thinning, I have been told if you have it Isopropyl is ok to thin the paint (but needs to be quite a high alcohol content one) OC.

Superb job of the windows - infact the whole paint job so far, your skills make me envious, I remember this kit very well as I also built her when I was about 12 (but did a right hatchet job on her) Really loving these liners you are bringing back to life. OC.
