Nice one Paul!

I will follow this build with real interest! If you can work it in a way to run off copies, you should really consider marketing the end result, because I very much doubt there'll ever be other kits available in this scale. Museums might well be interested too.

Please keep us posted in "WW2" - this is a classic example of the unfortunate divisions in the forum that we suffered in the split from the original Armorama years ago - great stuff kind of gets lost occasionally... )

All the best

Rowan

I am looking to do copies , maybe a vac but probably resin but it will take time ! I've managed to find about 8 cockpit photos so I can model that properly.

Paul, my limited modeling skills at best just allows me to detail what's basically already in the box. Those of you that have the talent, skill, and knowledge to scratch build are a notch above the rest of us.

Will be following your progress with much interest.

thanks Joel, I'm very much learning as I go along !
so far it seems like you need an unlimited supply of filler ! .... more sanding tomorrow.
