Build in progress of this 70's moulding, kindly supplied by Benyboy...

Fuselage went together reasonably well

Cockpit detail- some 'maps', and crewless seats out of the spares box. I generally build my models crewless.

More as and when...

It's going together nicely. I had to replace most of the fuselage windows due to the person who'd started the build getting gluey finger marks all over them, but it's going good so far. The undercarriage is together and looks quite impressive :)

Looking good so far!

I must get a Stirling for my bomber collection, and also as they were built locally too!

Surely this thread can't go on for much longer without someone saying - "it looks like you're making a stirling effort with that build".

:D it had to happen eventually! Stirling's wings are now painted and on, as are the tailplanes. Photos up when I get chance, but the MGB's brakes have to take precedence today sadly :(
