[Sissel]

No breakie first?

My mom is allowing me to use sharp instruments on this one.

Eek! I can hardly bear to watch!

That kit does look raaaaather bits-laden for a blitz . Good luck with it!

Looking forward to your build, it's a nice looking kit.

And we are off and running at Rockingham.

The layout with the unstarted kit:



Yes Nemo joins the fun again and Bruce the shark is not far behind.

Step one awaits the paintshop:



I have to say right off that I am using the photoetch but the kit parts are very nice and the photoetch (except for the belts) is not needed and you really are not gaining anything here.

Now, time for a strong cuppa and think about from breakfast

[Sissel]

Great start, Jeff.

[Old_Tonto]

Looks like a really nice kit.

Good luck, I will check in as much as I can during the day.

[jssel]

So far so good.

Photo uploading has given me fits this morning and I hope that get better.

Overview:



Some of the other work:







No real complaints as yet. Everything with the kit is going smoothly.

Breakkie now with a photo of that coming.

[Old_Tonto]

looking good.

[Sissel]

This is looking sweet, Jeff. You seem, I repeat, seem more relaxed than me. I still can't decide between beach, blitz, both or what. Luckily my kit isn't that big.

Waiting for the breakie pic

Breakfast time for Blitzer. Muffin with peanut butter and honey with a tea chaser. Red Rose Tea in honor of my friends north of hear. That will kck you in the "slats".

Some of the other work:









Tough decision Sissel. Don't envy that one. Relaxed, I don't know. But I do love the blitz so I WANT TO BE HERE.

Overall, no snags with this kit. Good fit with only one spot where filler will be needed so far.

Feel like a little 60's British Rock comin' on. Maybe the next break.

OK time check and overview:



Some more efforts:

Some of the kit over-engineering:





And a "goober." A good blitzer would not do such things.



I forgot to mention that the wing cannons are complete with breeches atc, but you can't see them so to save time, not painted.

Still pleased with the kit so far.

[Sissel]

This is coming along great, Jeff!
But not sure what you mean with a 'goober'. I'm either blind or just in the unknowing.
Do you mean the spinner ring was to be on the inside of the cowling??

[jssel]

Sorry about that. A Goober is a mistake, a goof, something along that order. I am having a hard time still posting today. This post tells me that it will not recognize the picture size.

Here is the overview:



Seamwork using Tamiya Surface Primer.



Flap redo. The flaps are moulded with a ridge all the way around the piece. Since I believe that the flaps were wooden and flat, out comes the sheet styrene.



Posting has been a little difficult for me today so I haven't fooled around with you tube much.

[Sissel]

Cracking work with this. Even some 'scratchbuilding'. I'm impressed.

What music are you listening to?

[Old_Tonto]

Coming along very well Jeff.

It looks like an impressive kit.
