Got 'er done!

Now, I don't know if it's photobucket or this website that is the more hopeless, but either way, despite the fact that I've resized every image to 600 pixels wide multiple times, it STILL won't allow me to post images

Edit: ok, seems the forum and PB are now speaking to each other....

That's very good especially the paintwork. Well done.

How strange. Photobucket can be terribly user unfriendly at times.....

Nice model though!

VV, if You haven't already tried this can I suggest on your post in this forum-
1/ Go to "Edit"
2/ highlight the code for the first image.
3/ Click on the "Img" button.
4/ Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other two images in turn.
5/ click "submit"
If this fails and you get an image size flag in red at the top of the your submit form you may have an image size problem- Photobucket does not like images with odd sizes so edit your pictures for Photobucket so that both height and width are sized in even numbered dimensions. If that is the problem that should cure things.

I've tried to do one for you using photobucket.

Very nice. An unusually large aeroplane for twin engines by the look.

Nice! Does the Katiushka have flaps underwing? If so, the wing looks ma-hoosive for the aircraft.

Thanks, David. I had tried that a couple of times last night as it has often worked previously, but to no avail this time. However, this morning when I tried it, it worked. No rhyme or reason...

Martin, it was originally designed to be a dive bomber, which probably explains the colossal wing.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone
Glad to have got it done and not have a DNF dogging me.

nice job on the stipple camo might have to try that technique/effect on a japanese scheme any other issues with this kit apart from wing parts as i was thinking of getting one
cheers craig

If you do try it, use a very soft brush so it forms a spot rather than leaving brush lines.

The kit is pretty messy to put together. No severe fit issues, but nothing lines up particularly well, especially the outer wings and the rear fuselage. Lots of filler needed.
