[Airframes]

Bl**dy h*ll Vic !! Oh, and it's 278 holes.

 

[A4K]

In awe Vic!!! ...and 317 holes (if 28 both sides of rudder)

patience of a saint Mr Balshaw

 

[Gnomey]

Damn Vic, that is a lot of holes. Looks good though.

 

[T Bolt]

UNBELIEVABLE!! I can't believe you're really putting all those wind flow detectors on. I thought you were kidding! Excellent work Vic! It's going to look fantastic!

 

[N4521U]

Gawd, even if you stopped here it would be a winner.........

 

[Wayne Little]

Will it float with all them holes....

Truly awesome Vic! The tail definitely looks painted to me, probably to show the ticklers better.

[Gerry]

That's some work you're putting in on this one!

 

[Njaco]

Excellent work!! And it seems other modellors are making the tail black.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks for the kind comments gents, I'm quite pleased that this part of the build is out of the way and with me progressing well with the other build, I'm hopefully going to spend more time on this one.

Still not sure about the tail wings though, I still feel that the port one would be camouflaged as I have seen this somewhere but am unable to now find the source. The monochrome pic below also indicates a lighter colour on the port tail wing which would suggest to me a camo paint.

 

[Crimea_River]

I wonder if the ticklers were just one one side then too?

 

[Catch22]

I wonder if the ticklers were just one one side then too?

Don't say that Andy!

I'd have to agree with you though Vic, that stabilizer looks camoflauged.

 

[woody]

Nice work Vic that's a whole lot of hole's

 

[Vic Balshaw]

COME ON GUT'S, have a go.................I want to see how many of you can count.............

 

[Wayne Little]

I don't have enough fingers and toes....

 

[Crimea_River]

368

Heaven forbid Andy...

... you want to give me a heart attack. Ticklers treads to the starboard, colander to the port, with all them empty holes the drag would be unimaginable, the only Me 262 with a port bias...

.

Still looking for more input on the number of holes though and one of you is very close.
