Whimper... :omg

Probably not Mike I'm getting a little bored with adding patches of lozenge decal to be honest! Plus I'm incredibly busy at work, so I'm not getting much bench time. If I do individual rib tapes, then I might not finish. :cry:

Going great guns so far.

I'm sure you'll find the missing parts, otherwise I want to see them being scratch built this time next week. :-D :-D

Are you sure you haven't decalled them with the Lozenge and already glued in place? :ha: :ha:

Any luck with that sprue ? That's really sad, given the work you have in it.

Still no sign of the Prodigal Sprue. I have added some more lozenge decal to the undersides. There are two more side panels to add. When the sprue shows up, I will have to work quickly!

I hope the missing sprue turns up. It would be a shame not to be able to finish after all the lozenge work.

I was reduced to tidying up the bench today in a desperate attempt to find the sprue. Nothing yet.

The lozenge camo is on. I will go around and use dark green paint on any bare primer still visible.
The Fokker is dwarfed by the Helldiver. Just imagine the size of the airgroup you could get on a fleet carrier, if it was entirely WW1 biplanes!

Think of any kit box you might have fondled recently - it's inside one of them ....

Still no sign of the sprue. It will turn up in early February, I expect. :evil:

It could be hiding in a shell hole in no mans land. Pick a volunteer to go and search :)

Shame you haven't found it yet - but as you say, it'll probably turn up when you least expect!
