Great looking brake line Andy. Looks like it takes paint well. Wheels and bombs built up very nice also.

Great save there Andy. I love the look of the fuse in the tail of the bomb. Really makes a difference.

With all here.

Great stuff Andy, and glad those wheels arrived eventually !

simply perfect work here

Sometimes its hard to tell if I'm looking at the real thing or one of your builds Andy, that undercarriage is a good example. Lovely stuff.

Looks good so far Andy!

Easy guys, my head is swelling and you'll need to live with me for a while yet

Looking really close at pictures but see no evidence at all of antenna wires even on high res pics of BU-B. Just the 2 whip antennas top and bottom rear fuse. Anyone know if it's possible there were no wires?

Andy, that was just an incredible save!

Crimea_River · Jan 28, 2014

Cheers David.

Absolutely stunning work, Andy.

Wayne Little · Jan 29, 2014

damn nice Andy....

Airframes · Jan 29, 2014

Andy, the whip antennas are probably for a VHF radio, so no wires, which were for the HF sets.

Crimea_River · Jan 29, 2014

Thanks guys. Terry, there are two whips evident on BU-B, one on top and one below. I have seen pics of other aircraft with the antenna wire present along with the top whip but not all 3, though profiles show this.

Airframes · Jan 29, 2014

Hm. I think I'd go with just the whip antennas. One is likely to be the VHF, and the other possibly IFF, or a nav aid.

Crimea_River · Jan 29, 2014

Yeah, I'm probably going to do that as there's no hint of a wire on Cleopatra III. Thanks mate.
