The boxes came shrink wrapped, haven't looked inside yet. My Dad's youngest brother was a Captain in a tank retrieval unit somewhere in France, can't remember where tho.

Later today (yep I know where does the time go) I will check the join where the Stabs meet the fuselage and fill if needed, then I think it will be wing tip and Aileron fitting time, I will probably keep the Ailerons level as I dont think they are gravity enduced so wont droop on power down.

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
One of mine was "A bridge too far" after watching the film as a teenager I went out and brought the Airfix Dio kit of the same thing - soldiers and Tanks and the bridge all in 1/72.

Outstanding work on what appears to be an outstanding kit. They even have an arrow embossed inside the fuselage so we know which way to fly🛩️
Seriously, very well done, enjoying your progress.
Cheers
No thats where the Bow goes with the Arrows 😉 But thank you for the compliment.

Plan for today (later) there is still a hairline gap where the wings meet the fuselage so I will work some plastic putty into it, then I will either attach the rudder stabs and Rudder or the wing tips (depends what I fancy doing first).
I know I keep saying it - but I really recommend thses Eduard kits they are simply first rate in every way.

Very nice work mate - very nice indeed, that red colour really makes her stand out.

Yellow ocre is the colour we all know for the bulwarks and carriages, but if you find the shade a we bit too bright you could always dull it a bit by adding a bit of white, its completely how you want to display it my friend and how pleasing it wil be to your eyes.
I am loving those canon/carriages though they will look super when finished.

A bit more progress - no work done in the day time as we were sat out enjoying that weird bright ornage thing in the sky, so I decided to work on the cockpit glazing, this is in three sections due to me having the cockpit open, first I cut away the front section and after tyding up the edge I fitted some masks that came in the kit, this was a three part mask - I then glued it in place and set it down using the dryer, next was the rear section - again tydy up and masked using two masks, this was then glued down/heated, last was the sliding section - this had the same prodecure, but it stays off till the last stages of the build.
Thank you all for the interest people are showing in my build.

Well, the governor just extended our incarceration till April 29th............... Boing....... Boing ......... Boing ....... Boing ........ Boing ....... 🙃😷🤕
Ours is under review next monday to see how many extra weeks we will get added ontop............I feel like a caged animal (to be fair it dont worry us to much as we have no family - friends etc - just keeping the flipping food and gas /electric meters topped up is our priority).
Our hobbies help though - dont they Jack.👍

Is this an E wing, OC? Clipped or normal Spitfire wingtips.
Its got to have its normal wing tips on it yet Ken, it comes like that giving you the option as they are in the box - three types of wing tips I think.

Jack,
When you're done with the bird, unless it's in a case, hang a sigh with something like "Do not touch. The rotors do not turn. " And maybe some threatening words like they will suffer extreme harm from you fearless watch dogs.
Or "Mind the Rotors they dont turn - but the body does"😁
