No worries, I’m not precious about that sort of thing 👍

Thanks Steve. I still think that if these had made squadron status before the start of the BoB German daylight raids would’ve been very short lived. Those cannon would have chopped the bomber streams to pieces.

Pity the engines lot them down ...

Cheers Neil. You may well remember it. In fact, that might mean there is a thread on here for it…..

Should have been designed around the Merlin from the off, instead of using those engines in the complete failure that was the Fairy Battle. It would have required a completely different wing, but would have been significantly faster than anything else in service. Still, hindsight is a wonderful thing 😉

This looks absolutely spot on. A great finish, nice shading too.

Cheers Colin. I’ve come to prefer pre-shaded panel lines over paint washed panel lines because I think the latter can look a bit too clinical. Glad you like it 👍
