Thank's for the nice comment. Actually i think the kit would only be a few dollars cheaper without engines keeping in mind they are the "2009" Merlin's from the spit with new supercharger's but i see your point having said that i'm glad i have both Merlin's Cheers Lee.

Thank's Zac i'm glad you like it. Cheers Lee.

Colin really nice overall finish man good job weathering too just get the mechanic to check the tire pressure after he finishes his Joint. Lee.

Thank's Colin i'm glad you like it Lee.

It look's sweet Colin. lee.

Beautiful work Joel the radio's and Eduard IP really make a huge difference. Cheers Lee.

Thanks Joel i appreciate that i sure used to be bad for the old rust treatment. The exact method i painted the exhaust's is using Mr Color 8 Silver & Mr metal Color 215 Copper. ( 95% Silver and 5% Copper ) then i used a black & brown wash to tone it all down And finally drybrushed the exhaust tips with white to simulate the carbon deposit's.

Hi Jennings thank's for checking out my build i agree i think as model builder's some of us try to be a little too artistic Cheers Lee.

Thanks Jamie i'm glad you like it Lee.

Hi all just before i start on the wings here's the complete nacelles and the two complete 1,610hp Merlin 25's it is quite a big job building these two as one can imagine but well worth just taking the time and enjoying it I'm looking forward now to see the wings come to life........... Back soon with the wing build Cheers Lee.

Beautiful modern Eagle great job !! Cheers Lee

Wow nice work Colin tidy paint job and the riveting looks superb and in scale. Love your dog too

Talking about engine sound Just wondering what is everyone's top 3 best sounding WW2 engines Mine is..... 1 Rolls Royce / Packard Merlin 2 Allison V-1710 3 Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Thanks........Lee !

Thank's Jamie It truly is an amazing sound isn't it. Cheers Lee.

Thank's again Joel i'm glad the exhaust's give that impression the look of the exhaust's play a pig part in the look of a ww2 warbird in my opinion Cheers Lee.

Awww thank's Colin.

Joel i predict another masterpiece in the making first class work with the scratch building mate I'm looking forward to your updates Cheers Lee.

Dam'n dude you like to give yourself a challenge don't you haha !!!! I like the way you used plasticine on the seat good thinking. Tamiya epoxy putty is for that purpose aswell it also dries like plastic after a couple of hours and you can sand or cut it too anyways i'm watching with interest again. Oh any luck with the P51 that sucks no decals.

Hi back with a quick update after painting the semi complete Merlin's and the mounts also the exhaust pipes were painted silver mixed with copper color then given a wash of black and brown. I also used the Mig chipping fluid on the engines it may be a little overdone but ill see how it looks when the engine's are properly installed in the nacelles ect. So i'm just adding the finishing touches to the engines and then its on to the large wings. Cheers Lee......

Thank you Joel it will be the centerpiece of my collection for some time i think along with my WNW 1/32 Gotha that i have yet to build.

Thanks Zac !!

Wow nice progress Zac i look forward to more. Cheers Lee.

Cheers Colin i hope to do them justice..

Hmmm build the baby Mossie to keep mine company lol or if you feel like building a superkit then the P51 i have built That P51 kit it actually isn't that hard to build it just takes a long time but it really is up 2 u whatever it is i will be happy to watch. Cheers Lee

Awesome job Colin i love it ok what next haha ( i enjoy your build's ) nice Boomerang btw Cheers Lee.
