Coming along great Mike.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.
I think it will look cool hanging from the ceiling. This project is pretty much just a warm-up to get me back into the game. I'm a bit rusty but it all coming back to me.
I've got so many sidelined projects it's ridiculous.
It will be nice to complete this one.

I think I will spend a little more effort on the nose machine gun positions before I'm happy with this one.
For now, it's almost complete.
Drilled, countersunk, and stretched sprue gun barrels. This formula has worked many, many times.
She looks spendid. It really feels great getting near the end of a long project. Huge weight off your back.

Wow! Somehow I missed this build all along, but I just got caught up on it. Excellent job improving the kit, Mike! You show what can be done with an older kit like this.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Lol just one of too many.
But the feeling of completion is goooood.
Thanks BK!
the Baron Wow! Somehow I missed this build all along, but I just got caught up on it. Excellent job improving the kit, Mike! You show what can be done with an older kit like this.
Thank you! I wasn't thinking my efforts were going to pay off until I pulled the masking from the canopy. I forgot how much detail I added to the interior.
Gun barrels trimmed down and glue curing right now.
I'll give this a few hours or more and come back and finish them. Final shaping and drill out the tips before painting.
Well that's almost it. Needs one last spray of flat and I can hang it from my ceiling.
I left a couple things off, just because they won't be missed while it hangs from my ceiling. Rear windows and pitot tube not really required. Pitot tubes break off too easy and the rear glazing needs modifications.
So I suppose this is completed.
More pictures to follow. (Upoad issues)
Nick.
crown r n7 Wow that’s really a great build. The paint and markings are just right for this plane
Thank you, my friend.
I'm not entirely happy with the finish, as I couldn't get the shine out of it I wanted, but that was my fault for not doing the prep right from the beginning.
Next time I won't try to do an overall finish with the chrome paint. I've got an aluminum paint for a reason lol. I'll have to work on that.
Thanks, Joe. I find myself still wishing Airfix will do a new tool of this aircraft.
It's really a fabulous airframe and worthy of a modern release.
This old kit didn't turn out too badly for a ceiling hanger and I've yet to hang it up. I've still got that Lindberg Me 262 I want to hand up as well, but I need to get back into building it.
So many open projects to finish!
Wow! This turned out really good Mike! I can't tell you how glad I am that you're hanging back around here.
Beautiful! I like 'em clean like this.
