Another shelvequeen. Didn't have the appropriate decals for the coding, at long last I painted them on.

You've got a busy bench (a busier fridge). Nice job on this one. :)

Very neatly done codes, well done! I remember loving this one as a kid, lots of parts for a series 2 and a working undercarriage that worked!

Sweet looking Annie, Did-Nev! I'm always impressed when I see this kit built up nicely, as it soundly defeated my efforts at a good looking build.

I like that. I did a silver Anson when I was little and made a right mess of it, fingerprints everywhere.

May I ask where you got the smooth cowls?

I used the originals and altered them a bit.

Nice job!
I gave this kit a proper work-over a couple of years back; I appreciate what you have done.

cheers,

Aah! Did you just have to file the bumps off or was there more shaping involved? I'd check mine out against your photos but it's buried at the moment...

Hi

Did not know the Anson operated in these markings, stunning model - like what you've done with the cowls.

I did the same but sacrified a Frog/Novo Oxford in order to have new NACAs without bumps!
