Sean the maps look great and effective. Do you mind running us through how you made them?

Thanks Andrew I didn't make em I nicked em from my Son Josh :-X. Josh is an avid Armor Modeler and has lots of little goodies in his stash like the maps I used for his Dioramas. They appear to be photo reduced onto thin non gloss paper, heres a photo of the sheet.

Andrew, just had a look on tinternet and it seems as though Verlinden do them, they're 1/35 scale, but that shouldn't be noticeable put in to an aircraft.

Cheers

Bomb Rack Finished and Rigging done. Although I feel the tubing I used may be a bit big in Diameter.

I still can't believe these aircraft are so popular, cause I'm scared silly to try all that spider webbing. With my coffeine induced shaky hands, I'm quite sure I'd make a mess of the whole thing, and end up slamming it into a wall in the dungeon. My hat's off to you brave souls that tackle these things, as I will probably not.

Great progress on your Fee Sean, and well done with the MotM profile :)  You are ahead of me with your nascelle etc so it is good to have another reference build.

Wait until you cut out the wing components, the span is huge!  Whilst there is tons of rigging, there will be a fair bit of space to work with.

Thanks Ian yes it is big ! I've already dry fitted the lower wings and I thought it was manageable certainly know where near as big as the Gotha !

Very neat paintwork Sean :)

I think this engine is something that WNW could have provided a few extra details for, given that it is so visible.
