Nice gentle start Wayne.

A very different method of fitting the exhausts than on my Eduard Mk Vb. Wonder why they changed it. Nice work Wayne.

Beauty. If I recall, my Mk/VIII had a four piece exhaust as well

Eduards makes nice kits, my only beef is they are a tad over engineered. Most excellent job so far, interesting pointy wing tips.

 

[Wayne Little]

pretty sure the exhaust components are pretty much the same on the V and VIII ..? but they do look the part once assembled and in place.

One pic tonight, the starboard cockpit side progress...

Looking good

Cool

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice pit. The exhausts on my V fit into recesses in the fuselage and can be left off until the end.

Great work so far Wayne!

Only took a month for me to pop in. The kit seems to be going together as an Eduard kit should. I'm watching the details, having the same kit in the wings.

Not sure if I should muddy the GB waters with entering the same kit, but my choice of livery finish probably will differ. Either this or one the Eduard's weekender kits (Mk.IXc - Mk.Ia). Or break out the one of the two Airfix's (Mk.XIV or Mk. XVIII).

Looking forward to seeing the progress.
