      Finished the dash and interior but considering adding lap belts which were an option as apparently. Note the position of the handbrake lever and tiny decal for the gear positions on the gear know.

                  Mucking about on the bench after fixing the D9 with pcs/parts trying to use spares box articulated five ton suspension and BW heavy truck frame in a heavy 25 ton trailer for the tractor to pull and maybe carry the D9.

                  Going to put this one in here rather than a dedicated build thread cos i have a terrible record with biplanes..... They dont often get finished.... And no i wont be doing any rigging lol

                  When i saw the schemes on the box i had to buy it

                  The RAF option is for a meteorology aircraft of Coastal Command based at RAF Bircham Newton in Norfolk July 1942

                  I have driven thro Bircham Newton hundreds of times in my life ( it became a construction training facility after the war) as my mum was born in a village only 10 miles away

                  My dad was based as Bircham Newton in 1943.......he was what today would be called an instrument technician..... He worked on all sorts of aircraft...... He once told me the King made a visit and his Anson went unservicable and dad got the job of swopping out some instruments

                  Mum and dad met at a village dance like they did back in those days

                  First problem will be paint...... Thought it would be usual green/dark grey/light grey...... But its not cos its Coastal Command colours..... Seem to be different.... But either way i dont have the right ones

                    Now I have to figure out a way to keep the load from falling off, then final paint & decals.
