Hi Chris
I'll get started today.
@ Tony - nice choice on those airbrushes.

Rowan -
I'm anxious for your review as this kit has been on my wish list for some time now but what happened to the " less reviews- more builds plan " ?
Happy modeling ! Richard

Checking UK 8th Air Force data base for my best friend Mike Felix's father who was a gunner in a B-17G I located this Photo on E-bay of his aircraft:-
Mike's father Charlie was a short small man and he told us that he was a Ball Turret Gunner.
RIP Charlie and my late friend Mike.

Some nice after-chrismas delivery!
Rowan: I'm quite developing to a big Airfix fan but thanks to your Stuka-review I won't yet go for that kit.

I stopped at a local shop, was in their "used" kit section and found this with AM parts including engine, seat, wheels, new decal sheet and gun barrels.

Not really planning Phil more a lack of impulse control. Actually taking advantage of a stash reduction sale by a fellow modeller here in New Zealand I was very lucky and got them for some rather good prices. So he was reducing his stash I've just expanded mine. LOL

Are you going to share a few pic's ?
Only thing that I'm a little disappointed in is the instrument decals . This will be replaced on my next Ultracast order along with their seat with belts .
