I agree whole-heartedly. Stunning craftsmanship all around. If I had seen only those last few photos, I'd have thought she was either the Koster or the Eduard 1/48 kit.

Very fine modeling. Great work in the interior being all so small.

Cheers

Thanks folks, most kind!

A little more progress, slowly but surely. Fuselage is together now. As you can see, I went a bit berserk with the filler. I fattened out the cheek cowls a little too to meet the cowl, and deepened the fuselage a little (~1/2 mm or so) too to match the datafile drawings by skinning the lower fuselage with card. This helped to avoid the nasty fit issues of the kit under-nose part. I also scratched the tail skid / rear fuselage area.

It looks messy, but has come up ok under a coat of primer. Some areas still to clean up, but not too bad...

I'm away from the bench for another week or so with work, but I think the next thing to tackle might be some undercarriage...

Cheers!

Great job with that 1/72 tripe.

Tailskid it's awesome being such a small part nicely done and the rib structure detail too.

I'm sure that it's going to be a nice biuld.

Cheers

Really great work, Brad. Your takin that basic Revell kit to a whole new level. Awesome!

Thanks folks, you're too kind

With the fuselage together, the first tricky bit is done.... the second (and probably worst) tricky bit will be the wing alignment - old kits like this aren't renowned for their ease of construction.... but at least there aren't too may struts to align!

Thanks again,

BC
