Really nice, Alan. I have my Canon set to "Aperture Priority" with the fstop set to the highest number to keep everything in focus. I just got an iPhone 17 this week because my diesel burning 8 couldn't upgrade any more so I waiting to take some pics to see how it is

Nice Alan

Continuing with my attack on the shelf of doom. This guy has been in long term restoration after 2 major mishaps. Still a few touch ups and some re-marking to go, but prop and rocket rails are finally painted and on.

Good repair job!

Nice, Evan. Couldn't tell it was damaged

 

[A4K]

Cheers guys. She has been through the wars!
First the top wing broke off when we moved here. The painting around the struts to lower wings had been spotless 'til then. These were touched up and a missing strut fabricated.
Later, a then- 2 year old son really liked her, and took her for a walk to the shops... trip and smash. He was ok, but his cushion was the Swordfish, which ended up literally in pieces - even the fuselage cracked in half and broke off at the tail. That was a much bigger job to fix.
Just want her to be complete now and as nice as poss under the circumstances.

Awesome Kev

Had to remove the radio and ammo boxes from Noah's Stuart, as the Academy interior layout callouts are for the British version, sans sponson Bownings. One upset dude, as he couldn't fit the MGs, but one of those valuable lessons we all learn in the hobby - in this case not to trust instructions 100%, but check ahead and dry fit parts first. Now filled and sanded, ready for repainting.

(He had glued them fairly solidly, so some tools and effort were required... )
