Thanks so much, Everyone. And Stephen...if my models looked like yours, I'd be cleaning up at the scratch-build tables!! I do like this Vimy, though...
I'm in the final detail and fixing nit-picks stage. I added the trapeze-like structure under the forward gunner's ring (a bomb site attachment perhaps?), detailed the gun mount with pulleys and bungees from elastic thread painted white, added the wind screens and the nose skid/step. The machine guns are from an old 1/32nd kit and look lovely. The Vimy kit parts do not look much like Lewis machine guns save the pan magazine. I could have scratched them but had these in the spares box and figured what the heck. I did need to modify them and add the rear spade grips from thin paper and plastic rod. I do need to add a shell casing collection bag for the front gun and then those parts will be done.
The last main issue other than some fixes are the bomb mounts. Then...she'll be done!
More soon and thanks for looking,
Dan
