    GB-61 1/48 FM-1 Wildcat - Carrier and Maritime Aircraft

    Thanks again. I'm at the point where this build is becoming a chore rather than a pleasure so really need to get motivated to go back to the bench.

    Looking for a Good Micro-Drill Set

    Thanks Thomas, good info. I'm quite familiar with McMaster Carr as I've ordered stuff for our Mosquito restoration from them.

    EDUARD 1:48 F6F HELLCAT BINGE BUILD

    Looking good. Still trying to perfect "blotchy" myself. And I see the leading edge now.

    GB-61 1/72 Aichi M6A1 Seiran - Carrier and Maritime Aircraft

    B-24 Liberator Diorama - 1/48th Scale.

    Interesting stuff. Sorry I can't help with the bomb sight dimensions but I'll have a look at our museum if there's one floating round.
