...... Was uploading a few pics on the "2022" thread, when I realised that I forgot to post this one "done".
Final bit of phaffing about,and,apart from a bit of a decal mishap, I'm happy with it.
A cracking kit all round in my humble opinion,and easily the most enjoyable/pleasing flying fing I've done so far.
So, without further ado,ere be pics...

Thanks Andy,much appreciatedLooking good.
Andy.
Cheers Andrew,I agree, figures do seem to add "that certain something".....I have to admit that 1/48 is the only way to go for meAndy
That's brilliant! Turned out very nicely indeed and great finish of an unusual looking plane. Also nice to see a crew. I understand why people don't put them in but I think they sometime look a bit empty.
But with the greatest of respect.....for pity's sake do NOT go recommending larger scale planes! You know I'm struggling with them at the moment.....
In all seriousness, very well done.
Andrew
Thank you John, totally agree about AirfixVery nice, Andy. I built the 1/72 version when it came out a few years ago. Airfix are certainly up there with the best now.
John.
Hi Richard,thanks for that .... Funny you should mention that.... after seeing Karl's result,and the recent conversations about the Flory washes, I'm gonna get some and give it a go.Hi Andy, been catching up through the pages and love your venture into the turret interior...brings out the detail of the dark cramped space. So you're creeping into the dark side of wingy things and looking good at it too.
I built the oldie moldy 1/72 scale version years back and it fought all the way. On your next venture, experiment with pin washing the engraved lines. You'll find it satisfying when the raised areas pop out.
I'm going to put figures in the cockpit in my next build for the fun of it.
Overall nice finish and glad you enjoyed the process of this fine kit...have one in the stash and will be there for a while...maybe not.
Cheers,
Richard aka Wabble
Cheers Bob I know it's not your kinda thing really,so appreciate it even moreVery nice build Andy!!
Why thank you Mr.Dewire .......Wow!!! Most impressive work and finish there Cohan!!! Your figure painting has improved a lot too. It's great to see Mr. Smiff has finally put up your avatar as the true modeller in the family. Beautiful wing thingy Cohan, and I hope you got some nice fat Juicy Crickets as a reward for all your hard work!!!...
Prost
