Nicely done, Ratch - great bit of classic rolling stock are those Airfix tanker wagons IMHO.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Tank wagons look good, and the 110 should give you no trouble. I enjoyed building mine.

Returning to AX772...

I think I may have done something wrong as I had to cut the tab off the front of the lower wing before it would fit

Really like the weathering Ratch. You hit the dirt and grime on the head.

What type of nose is the 110 going to have?

That weathering has finished off your tank wagons very nicely, Ratch. I haven't built the new tool '110 but usually I attach the wings with both upper and lower halves together and often accept the need for a bit of filler in the wing roots - I always seem to achieve a worse result applying the wings lower half first, requiring even more filler, although I appreciate a lot of modellers prefer the lower half first approach.

Its my first time with this kit. That's the first I've heard of a potential problem with fixing the upper wings after the lower one :roll: I'll let you know how it works out ;-)

I'm doing it as 1426 Enemy Aircraft Flight's AX772. I suppose I could put some RAF types in there, but I've decided to have her grounded :twisted:

The port lower wing on mine is warped :sad:

Nothing a bit of clamping won't fix :ha:
