I love it. Those yellow wings look incredible.

Thanks very much for all the comments, most welcome  ;)

Just a couple of pics of the engine, largely completed. I've got some nice ones of the fuselage on the wheels, and I'll hope to get round to posting those later today.








Not hugely detailed... Bo & Bertl, please look away  :P

Re the seam, it had been left to dry for a week before I originally sanded, and when it came back, it was slightly raised. Goodness knows how that works.. And, yes, I add a trail of glue over the top too.  ???

Thanks Bo, Rick & Ernie  :D

I've done as much as I can now until my package from Bob vB arrives (how dare he go sick)  ???

Loved the project so far. I know I always seem to say this, but it's probably been my most enjoyable build yet  ;) cracking kit

WARNING: The following images contain macro photography  :P
























Thanks again,



Guy

Good grief, Guy, you're macro is much friendlier than mine! ;D  I am just
blown away by your Hannover, even at this stage.  The thing that really
impressed me was the undercarriage generator.  Are the mounting straps
and bolts separate parts?  Also the paint and weathering on the wheels are
totally believable.  Is the red a mixture?  Lovely stuff, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
