aaaaand disaster strikes. Tail wheel has just vanished into fuselage. Bloody hell's bells.

Nobody will notice.

By chance I happen to be building a 1/48 plane as a floatie version. The tail wheel is smaller than the 1/72 one, but it got the world's quickest coats of paint and jammed in there.

Done, with 20 whole minutes to spare.. why, I could have scratchbuilt an airfield with that time

The decals for the yellow leading edges simply would not lie down, so I freaked out and painted them freehand in a hurry. They look rubbish, but so it goes. Otherwise, very chuffed with the result and it's a superb kit, which I will deffo build with the care and attention it deserves.

I'm very happy to have managed to build a kit in about 10 hours of actual buildingh time.. and I'm already eyeing the stash with a view to the next victi subject. This Blitzing is kind of addicitve, no?

Image Shack is being rubbish, so I'll post piccies as and when it decides to upload.

Having been distracted by some of life's necessities I totally missed this one. A successful blitz Arc, well done with it.
