photos of cockpit with decals applied,test fit of canopy to see what detail will be visible plus engine cowlings as supplied,these are going to need a lot of work

I reckon it looks fantastic. Well done and good luck (we are competing....i see I might be in a spot of bother)
 
don't worry i'm sure your do a better job than me,when i modeled years ago it was never to the standards shown on this site and although the chaps are kind with their comments i know my work is very poor compered to theirs
 
hi i'd be interested in any detailed drawings/pics you might have of the widow,mainly of the gunners position and wheel wells/undercart legs please if you have any

last nights progress,i'm not sure about my crude attempt of a head set in the radar operators position,anyone have any ideas or tips how to make this better
 
Can't really see it Bob but if I were to make the headset, I'd use a sheet of thin plastic card cut to a dog bone-like shape with a fine blade. Then cut and glue circular discs at the earpieces then wrap the whole thing around a paint brush to get the curvature.
 
Great progress. Black plastic is unforgiving to eyes of the modeller. But a good aspect is that it shows sanding flaws. I found that out when I did my SR-71. It initially gave me fits seeing all those flaws on black. I'll never buy a black car for that same reason! :shock:
 
i've done your wire suggestion Terry and used a small circle of card for the headphone pads for the ears,i guess these would be black in colour
