Superb Andrew, a really nice finish and lots of firsts crossed off as well. Great stuff.

Peter

Thanks for the support and a fair few firsts indeed.

Now I just have to make a decent job of a single aircraft, rather than two decent jobs of two parts on different aircraft!

thanks again.

great result, Andrew. Is the start of a beautiful new relationship...?

Neil, thank you very much.

It's more like rekindling an old love affair!

Like most people I started by doing plane kits with my father. Then I migrated onto armour when I got into wargaming. I got back into the hobby through my son and doing armour for our little wargames and now I've come back to planes!

Thanks again for the support.

How's your distopian train coming on by the way?

I haven't touched it in a while Andrew, I'm waiting for inspiration. Like much of my stuff it may always be 95% finished :smiling5:

Super job andrew , they look brilliant , only the 2nd aircraft in 35 years ! Cant wait to see the next one ( no , seriously ,I cant wait 35 years for the next one , Ill be 90 and have forgotten !:smiling5::smiling5

Thanks Tony, much appreciated.

To be honest if I have to wait 35 years for the next one I'll only be about 5 years behind you

I actually have 7 aircraft in the stash now, with one more ordered from John yesterday.

I think I might have a bit of a problem though as 4 of them are Bf 110s of various marks. Oh and then there's also a mosquito. So that makes 5 twin-engined birds in total.

For some reason I've always had a thing for most of the dedicated big twin engined fighters of World war II, albeit not so much those that started out life as bombers.

Thanks again.

I know what you mean. I think I've got about 15 wargaming kits waiting for a wash.....

Andrew, it's been a pleasure to watch these two excellent looking aircraft of yours coming to fruition.

Nice to have a bit of history too.

All in all, a very nicely presented package.

Top work fella! :thumb2:

Thank you very much indeed for your kind words. It has been fun all in all.

And you won't have long to wait for the next wingy thing. It's already had the innards painted. At this point I should apologise. As I had the airbrush out already for something else, I used that rather than your beloved hairy stick!

Seriously though thank you again for your very kind words.

Thank you very much. It worked out ok in the end although I lost count of the number of times I had to touch the Airfix badge up.
