Terry it was a bit of a last minute thing with Duxford what with the heart attack and all that it would have been nice to have met, maybe next year? Your Arado looks very impressive. Thanks Wayne for confirming about the finish of the paint work I will keep it in mind.

I have made some progress with cleaning up the office parts and have primed and top coated them followed with some detail painting. The pilots seat seems a bit on the small size looks more like 1/48 scale, maybe that was the size, but it will do I'm not going to scratch build one. Engine and...

Wayne I was going to ask you, you've built Zeros in the past and I believe that the final finish on the paint work was in fact gloss?

This is the kit I bought at Duxford Air show a couple of Sundays ago. It's an interesting kit that should be screwed together(I won't be) but some gluing is required. The office is very well detailed with but the moulding is a little crude. I will try and clean up most of the flash but they...

Thanks Guys another small update. The fuselage is all buttoned up. Not much to see regarding the office but as they say it's worth doing.

Thanks for all your kind comments Guys, it's good to be back. Small update from yesterday PE canvas rear gunners back rest added.

Thanks for that, it was a scary time with the heart attack. I knew nothing about it till I woke up in hospital a few days later. I was at a dance workshop with my wife and several of my dancing friends. We had a teacher up from London doing the workshop. I got through the first half then we had...

Well it's been a while in fact way back in November of last year. A combination of lack of enthusiasm over the months and then a heart attack in June, which I was lucky to survive, all down to being in the right place at the right time, has put payed to any modelling until now. Anyway I'm back...

Outstanding work with some fantastic scratch building.

A small amount of progress the office is almost finished most of the components are fitted although there is still detail to add to the fuselage side walls, they really have managed to pack a lot of detail into this office. Undercoated with grey primmer and then on with a top coat of zinc...

Here's some more shots with both cowling on attached to the fuselage. This really shows how ridiculous it would look if left transparent. And of course a photo of the part that's not there anymore.

Well I've finally made some progress with the radial engine. It's all but complete with just a few tweaks to do.The only thing that I have added is the ignition leads using lead wire still to add the secondary leads to the other side of the cylinder heads. The last shots are with my pet hate the...

Looking good Pascal.
