WOW is the first word I thought of when viewing your pics. Your detailing is so clear and crisp. Great job,looking forward to more.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Wow, that looks nice
Nice job so far!
I built that one a couple of years ago. The kit includes a mask set for the greenhouse canopy that I found did not even pretend to fit properly.
Looking great so far. Looking forward to the rest of the build
In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)

Aggieman Nice job so far! I built that one a couple of years ago. The kit includes a mask set for the greenhouse canopy that I found did not even pretend to fit properly.
I don't use precut masks. It seems to be a 50/50 fit depending on the kit. I use kapton tape to mask the canopies. The tape works well and trims easily.
Boy, that is looking great! I have that kit in my stash. Your pics are stimulating me to get it on the bench. Those AM kits are great!

tempestjohnnyDavid. How bad are the instructions? Loved the kit but the instructions were hideous
The instructions are a little weird but not bad. Not a fan of how they did the painting instructions. Only did the first two steps. We'll see how the rest goes.
Painting instructions are the biggest failing I see in almost all model aircraft instructions. I believe most kit mfgs figure that the majority of builders never paint their models, or else those who do paint them with brushes.
One of the big problems I see with novice builders is that they follow instructions for painting cockpit and engine, then go ahead and build and install all the rest, to leave painting till the last step. Then, they try to paint exterior of the model as last step. Then they are faced with the task of masking wheel wells, fragile landing gear and gear doors, and on some planes, exposed radial engines. In my opinion, gears and gear doors should be last pieces to by applied, along with antenna.
Not only is painting a problem, but in some kits, landing gears are captured during the closing of the fuselage. Big problem! Landing gear mounting should always be possible as a nearly last step.
What is this thing "instructions" you speak about? Is that the sheet of paper with the funny pictures and strange writings on it in the box? I thought that was to protect the bench top when I spill glue and paint.

If all else fails, read the instructions lol
Looking good. Very nice engine
Looks good! You're certainly paying attention to some relevant details and I'll enjoy dropping by to watch your progress.
Makes me want to get out my AM SBD-5 but it's a bit further back in the queue just now. I've really enjoyed building Accurate Miniatures kits so far. Hopefully my remaining F3F and RAF MK-IA Accurate Miniature kits will be as much fun.
