I done my Stuka in like 3 days. Other than that my SM.79 was the quickest, I found that easy. The Ca.311 has tons of glass in it, the sprue for clear parts is huge!

Don't worry, I lost about 5 parts of my latest model, I've had to put it on hold until the spare parts replacement service sends the bits through (one of them was a guy's arm)

Well I have made a start on me Stringbag but being as my eyesight is so crap I am having to use a pair of +3 bins and a magnifier at the same time.
I'll probably end up with the Torpedo sticking out the arse end three flares as an air screw.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's looking very impressive though...........

The guy whose book I'm reading regarding my own model uses aluminium powder rubbed over silver paint to achive the silver doped look. For the the B29 finish Lanc I have tried silver gilt foil and I think its better, Ill do a spare bit of my Stringbag so you can see what I mean.
The Tamiya Swordfish is a bloody well engineered model but as of yet i'm undecided how to finish it I have made it half the fuslage transparent and half normal which I thought (as I have not seen on the kits web site ) would give 2 prospectives.
If I paint the whole thing in camo all the interior framing and fuel tanks will be un-viewable.
I have had to order The photo etched rigging kit (thats £7.99p extra) as none of the stands at Duxford had any so the build has come to a stand still till it arrives

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

just one thing though- why're you posting this in the corrections/suggestions forum when there's a model thread in off topic
