She's coming along nicely Mark. I have almost finished the Airfix 1/72 DB Lanc for a friends son. Now if only Airfix would scale that kit up !!!! |

I started one about 20 years ago, started to fit the engines and gave up, still part built upstairs, didn't have the parts you can get now (p.e. etc). one day nill start it again and with a bit of perseverance I ll finish it, yours looks a treat in the cockpit, good luck with them engine bays

Great job so far Mark. I was going to warn you about the fit of the nacelles but I thought there was no need to depress you any sooner than was necessary! Si. |

Too late now, but I found that the only way I could get even a reasonable fit was to attach the nacelles to the lower wing halves, before adding the top halves. Still needed an awful lot of test-fitting (and unfriendly "persuasion",) before it looked reasonable, though.
