[woljags]

i'm not sure howi'm going to refinish this one any ideas

 

[vikingBerserker]

I always liked that plane.

 

[Crimea_River]

Really? I'm on the opposite side but nice model nonetheless.

 

[Wurger]

Looking shabby. But I'm sure Bob will make it nice again.

 

[Airframes]

Got some work ahead of you Bob, but I'm sure you'll sort it.

 

[woljags]

i will do my best,still on a learning curve,i might try to crack open the cockpit to get some detail in there,i'm also not sure how to refinish her,bomber command or fleet air arm

 

[Airframes]

FAA ? didn't know they used them, thought it was just BC, Coastal Command and Airborne Forces.

 

[Bernhart]

almost looks like the ones you see being pullled from underwater

 

[woljags]

i read somewhere that they used them to anti-sub dutys but i've not had much luck finding any info on a subject

 

[Wurger]

Bob, I think you meant the Coastal Command but not the FAA.

 

[woljags]

yes it did look like that,sorry must be a senior moment on my part

I like the occasional resto project. This looks like it'll be fun to watch

 

[Nxthanos]

restorations are fun projects.

 

[woljags]

some progress pics to follow shortly,i've managed to get the cockpit open with out any damage,inside i found quite a lot of detail already including nav position and table that looks as though it was part of the original kit

 

[woljags]

canopy now removed ,pic shows cockpit detail already fitted as part of the original kit

 

[woljags]

progress so far with new prop blades made and now in new camo and markings,the marking are not of any aircraft just for fun so that it looks ok

 

[Wurger]

Looking nice.

 

[Crimea_River]

Love the Coastal Command schemes.

 

[Airframes]

Me too.
