Thank y'all kindly.

Very nice work Andy, and love that trick from master Wojtek!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Evan.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets that feeling. The finishing touches to a model always seem to be the worst part - finding the motivation to finish, when you want to start something else!

 

[Crimea_River]

I almost always get that Terry, especially for stuff I'm super-detailing as it seems to be a never-ending process. The height f this was when I did the wheel wells on my Me 410. That's why I tried to simplify a bit and the last two build have been closer to OOB than I've ever done. This AM kit lends itself well to that but not having the rockets and depth bombs that should have been in the kit didn't help the make the home stretch quick.

Rockets are done:

Smoke added to gun port:

Finished weathering around the engine - pretty restrained for me.

Thanks for looking!

 

[Rogi]

Wow looks dangerous those rockets!

 

[KoJo]

Excellent!! Almost there!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very nice Andy.

 

[Vaughan]

Very nice Andy those, rockets turned out really well and some subtle weathering.

Subtilty sometimes goes a long way.
Looking better all the time!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Nothing done today but should do some more tomorrow.

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks good to me too mate!

It's looking the biz Andy. I must have missed the bit about you needing the HVARs and depth charges - I think they were included in my Italeri boxing, so I should still have them somewhere in the spares box if you still need the depth charges?
Let me know and I'll have a look - I need to sort the spares box into 'categories' anyway, so a good time to have a search.
