Valom 1/72 Bristol Bombay

The kit expects you to use a butt joint to mount up the horizontal stabs ...not structurally sound!.So I mounted up a heavy wire to support them.  

Good solution to the gap problem. 

There were pronounced gaps at the wing roots...made styrene fillets and will grind them down when the glue sets.     

Getting the wings together. 

Putty applied...

Crazy but true!lol!

"No matter the size of the bench; the available work space will always be exactly 2 square feet".

Luckily the windows install from the outside..

Philo;

 That is one strange looking bird ! Kinda like me with the odd versions of boats and ships.

 I am working in secret to build a German beer tanker for the German layout's river! There are three different types, the regular flat deck looking. Raised Dome type and the Keg Looking type lined, up on deck center. 

    Those large windows and ports just beg for a full interior.

Fuselage halves are joined....some body work will be required... 

Getting ready to join the fuselage halves...

Yes they made 50 of them!   

Howdy Pardner!

     Now you have me stumped. Never heard of the bird, much less ever seen one. Is it a High wing aircraft?

Yes I think it is a somewhat limited run kit.Detail is good,enjoying it  so far! 

Phil this is going to be a nice build. Like Johnny said, you don't see this one very often

Ok got together the rear gunners station with tractor seat and bag to hold spent shell casings.    

Instructions are not great...they just depict completed sub assemblies and there are no numbers on the sprues so that slows things down.They do have parts diagrams .

Progress is slow due to the photo etched details ..
