Made some cannon bulges for 1x 20mm Hispano each side.

I agree

 

[Airframes]

I agree too.
How did you make the bulges ?

I agree too.

Pretty simple job I cut the teardrop shape out of plasticard glued to wing then gently sanded the top edges. Then a smear of filler to blend it into the wing and photographed it.

At that point I should have left well alone but later I thought just a little bit more sanding and the inevitable happened I b*****ed one side up. I need to apply a bit more filler.

Sometimes the art of modelling is knowing when to stop.

Thanks for the info - and yes, been there, done that, a few times !!

Got the lid in place.

First coat of the yellow leading edge in place.

I have been thinking my what if needs a name and in best British tradition it must be alliterative. It must also be a bird to match other FAA fighters.

So far best I can come up with is the Boulton Paul Bittern but a type of Heron that skulks around in the Reed's doesn't sound very warlike.

That was quick I thought it would still be bobbing about in mid Atlantic.

Must have gone airmail then. Hope you build something nice with the bits

Boulton Paul Bullshit is a great name but it's not a bird.

I ordered some brass Master Model Hispano cannon and they have just arrived. They are gorgeous little things I don't want to ruin them by fitting them

Nice work so far!
