Evening All,

Thanks Lance, Ken, Rick and Andy for your kind comments: these come from a group of very fine modellers so I greatly appreciate them.

I have spent the last few days finishing this beast - namely adding the two outer rudders and their respective control lines, the large struts which run from the top wing to the fuselage nose area, gun rings on the nose and rear platform, tail skids, propellors and main wheels. Some odds and ends of rigging were also completed and so the model is now finished.....just in time to be ready to start a new one in the Flying Boats and Floatplanes GB over on Britmodeller - a log will be posted here as usual.

In the meantime this is what the model looks like - more photos will be posted in the completed models section shortly.







Thanks for looking.

Stephen.

Excellent result, Stephen!  That's quite a complicated subject you tackled and you must have used a couple miles of rigging line!

Excellent, a pleasure to see - it's great to look at, a cool design in an attractive scheme.
And you're flying the flag for 1:72 in magnificent fashion :)

Dang, Stephen...another great effort.  I really (REALLY) enjoyed watching this one come together.  And you "Desinated" it by scratch building just like he would have done.  Cool beans...
