Cheers Folks. Nothing more to report at present; work has been hectic of late
Best wishes
Jim If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing "Never put off till tomorrow, what you can do the day after tomorrow"
The B-17 is now in a holding pattern until I can get to get a coat of black on it, prior to the NMF
In the meantime, I have started work on my entry for the Zero GB:
Kit parts painted
PE side frame and knobbly things added
Seat belts, floor and rudder pedals
IP

This is a total departure for me; I'm normally a one in and one out builder

Great work Iggie. The B-17 looks awesome. I like the spars to support the wings. Much nicer than a butt joint. It's going to be taking up quite a bit of shelf space! Looking forward to seeing it progress.
Is the Zero the Hasegawa kit? Nice!

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

The Zero is indeed the Hasegawa kit; very nicely moulded and the fit is superb.....it's an enjoyable build
And talking of which, this is the latest from the GB entry (still no progress on the B17 )
Various shots of the office....
Engine painted and oiled
And the current state of play:

The topside colour is the finished article; Humbrol 88. I do have a pot of Tamiya IJN Green but I seem to have lost it!
Thanks for looking in, more progress last night, pictures to follow later!
