miduppergunner Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Here are the pictures. I have to admit that I am not sure if the colours are correct - info. on these aircraft is short. One article I read said that paint fade and flaking was not nearly as common as some supose. I have relied mainly on one B/W picture of Mavis descending in flames. The flaps were dropped at rest it seems and the rear turret seems devoid of any interior - as do the side blisters, although it did carry some weaponary. The kit generally was OK - not a lot of content - and very little reference material! Frustrating and thus not a really enjoyable build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fester Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 :lol: What a great build David! It has been a struggle I know but well worth the effort from the results we can see. Restrained chipping and subtle weathering is fantastic. If only I could come up with a witty retort :lol: SUPERB Doc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So come on whats happening? You have been rather quiet. Thanks to others too - now feel a bit guilty about whinging about the frustration etc. Won't do it again - promise!
