Box of bits....
Story so far...
The Heinkel's rudder is out of shot here, but I've assembled that, too.
The parts here will get a tidy-up before I do anything else with them. So far, so good, though!

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Re: Daz's Heinkel
Thanks to Marky, some Lancaster engine parts arrived for the CASA conversion.
Like I said, I'll save them for the Revell Heinkel I have in the stash. I'll maybe have a go at that when I'm not doing a GB.

Re: Daz's Heinkel
Sit-rep:
The Heinkel is starting to look like a Heinkel now, with the fuselage joined together, and the wings and tailplane attached.
I'll get more done to it tomorrow, with any luck.

That's starting to take shape. Good work.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Daz's Heinkel
Second coat was applied before I went to bed last night, and the model is now ready for the black-green "splinter" camo to be applied.
Once I've done that, I'll assemble the smaller parts and ready them to be hung on the airframe.
