With today's deadline today, I'm at too little too late and a no finish on this also. Both of my entries are close but no petunia. Thanks for the encouragement on the builds, I'll try to get them done soon.

I thought the extension was to Sunday

 

[Donivanp]

Post I read from Terry said the 13th , at least that is what I thought I saw.

 

[Crimea_River]

You thought wrong. 17th. GBs always ended on a Sunday.

GB 40 Extended.

 

[Donivanp]

Well maybe I can get one done thanks Andy for fix'n my thinker.

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, I helped a little bit. Not sure I can fix the whole thing!

Getting her done Don. Never a fan of guns that are attached before painting. Model makers need to employ a few builders

Ánimo Don, es muy meritorio lograr terminarla!! =D>

I took 17 months to finish my B-24, ... and you did it together with other projects! That's praiseworthy.

Thanks all, Posted some photos in the wrong thread so here is an update.

Got the wheels on and dowing some cleanup work on here. I'll have to cut back a couple of gun barrels and re apply them when done. It would have been worth it to invest in the metal .50 barrels in my opinion. Note the weight needed to hold her down.

Well, if you paint those Allen keys olive drab then maybe we won't see them.

Years ago when I built mine I remember packing every spot I could with sheet lead to get it to sit on the nose gear

 

[Wayne Little]

How is the Pilot going to see where he's at....

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

So the marking is starting. I have to use the kit markings for the basic and the PNY for the nose art. I don't like the kit decal coloring. It's way too lite for the British bars on the tail.
