Awesome work Karl!
Yeah Carl seriously that's come nice work there brother (if I didn't say it before)!
Thanks Cory and you too Jim.
I continue working on the cardboard B-24. Unfortunayely the progress is slow because there is no part that doesn't have to be corrected. E.g.. the chair in the navigator's compartment... the instruction calls for three pieces for the seat. To be honest it looks like a big litter box with an antenna and a drainage pipe. According to my knowledge it should be a small round seat with a char back and leather cushion. Here is my attempt to replicate it before painting.
And here ... the beast is getting shape,

Looking at the chairs in the background Terry, it is a big bugger.

Damn nice work Wojtek.
Totally agree with these posts amigo. That thing looks awesome! Bet you have flown it a couple of times around the house. I would have.
I haven't done it yet. This is the a dry fitting only. The model was of incorrect wing dihedral. When I corrected it there appeared gaps of 2.5mm at each wing root for wing tops. I have filled them with cardboard strips shaped to the edge of the wing top accordingly. Here a couple of shots showing the gap seen at the port wing while the starboard one has already been filled. The last pic showes the final effct.
