   Incredibly "clean" Guy, and a fine testament to your skills. Nicely done and I'll be following you on this one.
Cheers,

is coming along beautifully.

Thank you again  ;)

Just a quick one before I put the two halves together. I think it's going to be a shame that, once finished, they'll be very little to view - the pilot's seat sits under the top wing..

Guy, are you sure that this is not an advance kit from WNW?! ;)  Your cockpit work is truly exceptional, and looks superb for 1/32 scale, let alone 1/48!  Very well done.  ;D  Can't wait to see this one come the rest of the way together under your skilled hands!

Regards,

Bob

Hi,

Last interior shots I promise!  :D

Once again, the fit of everything is perfect, everything just falls into place  ;)

Although, I spent ages making the tubular frame at the rear holding the spare ammo magazines using Albion alloys tubing (as I broke the kit part  :P) and once the top decking goes on, it can't be seen!  ???








Wings up next!  :D

Hi Guy, marvellous! I think Gaspatch made a wonderful kit, but of course you did the rest and what a clean build it is. It is going to be a real masterpiece.

Kind regards
Patrick

Very appealing. Immaculate build, Gisbod.
And although I will not be building this one (the scale is just wrong for me) I may be tempted to get and build one, which is 1.5 times bigger. ;)

Absolutely stunning modelling job. All this, including the photography, looks near to perfection. It's only a pity that so much of that beautiful interior will be hidden from the viewer in the end...


Congrats to gaspatch on such a model.

Outstanding work on the cockpit, Guy!  You're making a silk purse out of the finest silk.  Costas is a genius.  The engineering of this kit is brilliant.  I especially love the cabane structure.  Should make wing alignment a breeze.  Can't wait to start on mine.
Cheers,
Bud
