Thanks!

Next up are three 1/72 P-38J's that I'm trying to finish for the twin boom group build, an Academy 1/72 P-47D Razorback, two 1/72 Hawker Hurricane IIc's (Academy and Hasegawa), an Airfix 1/72 A6M2 Zero, a Hasegawa/Revell 1/32 Spitfire Ia, Airfix 1/72 Avro Lancaster B.I, Airfix 1/72 Gloster Javelin FAW.9R, and a pair of Dragon 1/144 F-117A Nighthawks.

On the far back burner I have the following:
(2) 1/72 Hawker Hunters - Revell F.6 and Airfix FGA.9
(2) 1/72 Douglas SBD's - Airfix and Hasegawa
(2) 1/48 Douglas SBD's - Accurate Miniatures and Hasegawa
(1) Azur (Special Hobby) 1/32 Polikarpov I-16
(1) Airfix 1/72 Wellington Mk. 1c

Nice to you back at the bench. Did you rescribe the Airfix Meteor?

Thanks, it's nice to be back at the bench.

I did re-scribe the Meteor and tried to add some detail to the cockpit and landing gear wells. I also made new jet exhausts from aluminium tube painted with Alclad. I'm quite happy with the finish.
