Been busy this weekend. Got one wing ready for its eyelets
etc, added a deflector shield to the Vickers, and got a couple
of more roundels on. Also finished one detailed Bomb rack.
Hope you guys have a great week.

Cheers and all the very best

Dave

Stunning craftsmanship, Dave.  She's becoming ridiculously beautiful.  Like Scarlet Johansson.
Cheers,

ps. By the way, the metal stuff on the bomb rack is'nt PE,
     It's soft allyy cut from the base of one of those small
     candles you put in a Fondou set. Very malleable and
     easy to work with.

Well, the weekneds' work consisted of making
a Holts flare and bracket, and the aileron linkages
were detailed a bit more than the kit supplied
bits. Onto the other wing now, so hopefully, I
will get them both fitted next week.

Have a good week lads
