Agreed. A nice work so far.

Liking what I am seeing, good stuff Terry!

Thanks very much chaps, as always, it's very much appreciated.
Yep, it's time consuming, and I've also had to resist going daft with interior detail which won't be seen, and have had to curb the desire to get this part over and done with !
With a bit of luck, i might get the interior finished either today of by tomorrow, and can then move on to some 'proper' construction.
More soon ..............

 

[Wurger]

Looking forward to that Terry.

Nicely done Terry

Thanks Wojtek and Karl (sounds like a comedy duo !).
Just taken the 'Tin Tent' to the local garage to get some work done on it, ready for the MoT test, and I now ache like hell !
Been doing some final sanding on the waist window blisters and the rear cupola, and I think I've made an improvement.
If my hands will cooperate, I'm intending to make the seats and ammo boxes for the rear compartment, and the 'Gee' receiver for the nav compartment. today, and I'm toying with the idea of making a master, and casting this in resin, as I'll need some more units for four Mosquito models.
If I do cast them, and they work out OK, if anyone needs a 'Gee' monitor in 1/48th scale. let me know.

Moving rite along. I'm really liking what I am seeing but I'm feeling you pain also. It doesn't sound fun at all. I have pinched nerves in my neck and both arms go numb constantly but there is not a lot of pain, just numbness. wakes me up all the time and can be a real nuisance to work on anything.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Don.In my case, it's constant aching, which tires me out, and pain most of the time, with bouts of 'flare up' when the pain increases, and all joints and muscles are stiff and sore.
Having a mild flare up at the moment, and have had to stop trying to do any work on the model - hopefully I'll get back to it either later tonight, or some time tomorrow.

 

[Donivanp]

Take care my friend, take care.

No spare Gee unit anywhere Terry? I wonder if my Tamiya Beaufighter has one that I could cast for you.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Don.
As far as I remember Andy, there isn't a 'Gee' unit in the Beaufighter kit, but there is one in the Tamiya Lancaster kit, which I can use, with some improvements, to make a mould from.

 

[Crimea_River]

You remembered correctly.

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far Terry!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps.
No further progress - been ill in bed the last two days, with a dose of the trots and a fever. Think I'm slowly improving though, so might get back to it tomorrow - if i can stay away from the bathroom !!

That sucks Terry. You were having a good run despite. Hope you're on the upswing. On the plus side, all is looking great. Far better than I could achieve with two good hands..

[Donivanp]

Hope you get over everything soon and get to feeling better.

 

[Crimea_River]

You were having a good run despite. ...

I see what you did there!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps.
Had more than a few good runs - profits at Andrex must be soaring !
Feeling a bit better tonight, although still a bit weak and woozy. Hope to get back to the model in the next day or so.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good to hear.

 

[Wayne Little]

look forward to more, but get yourself well first.
