Jcarr162000 Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Quick update... I hate this Wellington! The more I look at it, the more mistakes and areas to be filled, I notice. I guess that means its time to put it in its box and move on. Luckily I have a whole stack of (Revell) Matchbox kits. lined up for this group build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luke Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Was watching with interesting considering I built the ol' Matchbox kit as my 3rd model about 15-years ago, and still consider it to be one of my better OOB builds. Hope you the Welly back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jcarr162000 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Not one to be beaten I cracked on and have produced... This... A touch of filler. Wing and tailplane added for effect. The last picture revealed my lost mobile phone. LOL :P Edited August 7, 2009 by Jcarr162000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It looks like you worked the bugs out because what I see looks very nice. What were the issues that almost made you give up on this one? I just got this kit myself, possibly as a second build after my Walrus, so I'm wondering what I should look out for when I start on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Wow, you are moving on this one, go away for 2 weeks and I see all this great progress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering what I should look out for when I start on it. The major pain in the backside for me were fit issues around the nose glazing and chin radome. Fit chin piece first then the glazing!
