She's really shaping up.

I am attentive tracking.

Cheers,

Fuselage together and primed. Engine test-fit. All very very snug indeed. Very nice build so far.

Hardly any filling need, just a tiny amount on the wing roots..and I mean tiny, plus a little around the engine/gun cover.

Looking good, and I love those brass guns - I have some .303 Brownings in 1/48th and 1/72nd, and they're incredible !

 

[Lucky13]

Hmmmm....better check and see what we Swedes used, if we used the same guns, or replaced them....
Looking great mate!

Geo - you maybe...but I'm not!!

Anyway - Master Brass MG's fitted. That's all for today, red wine calling.

 

[Crimea_River]

Enjoy your wine while I enjoy your build.

 

[ade]

wow...that was emotional.

I knew the wings would be "tricky" but it nearly, very nearly went in the bin. Lots of touching-up, "rescue" dabs of paint to cover bits. Hopefully no-one will look too closely when it's on the shelf...

 

[Airframes]

Nice ! Red wine calling ? "Reepeet pleeze ?"

 

[ade]

A nice Pinot Grigio on the go right now. I deserved it after that effort today.
