Looks Matchbox green.

Those engines look great, shame you have to pop the props on.

It does a bit, doesn't it? In real life it's very close to Revell Aquacolor 65 Bronzegrun which is, happily enough, what I'm using as the interior colour.

Get a move on you 'orrible little man!! or you'll find my size 11's up your jacksie!

How's that for motivation.. :ha:

But I sympathise on the motivation front, I've not touched any of my shelf queens for months, the urge has just vanished.

Don't force yourself or you'll not enjoy it.

Cheers

Thanks, Jim, that may be just what I needed! :lol:

It's nice to see that someone takes the trouble to respond. I must admit, I haven't found this the most interactive GB I've ever taken part in.

I'm sorry, please don't hate me!!!! :cry: :cry: . Have to admit I've not enjoyed my Airfix (Italeri?) Horsa, so that might be one reason for the quietness!.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

I've been absent for most of this GB due to work but this is looking very good, I keep thinking of building a Boston/Havoc but could never decide on the kit as so many are quite old renderings- I may have found the one to buy looking at this model.

Thank you, David.

Unfortunately, I have still got no further, and am away all of this week, so I'm afraid I'll be a DNF.

Martin

Unfortunate but that's life at times. Still you can now finish it at your leisure. Enjoy your break.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
