need to sort the faces out and fit the aimers glass, then look at the nose art.

Nice Tony
Worthy of Milton Caniff!

But to be strictly scale I thought the RAF were a bit stuffy about any sort of 'nose art'.

started doing some markings on the nose.

Now i have a poster of a Lancaster taken in 1945, it shows some interesting paint lines on her.
so i thought "that is unusual" hence the following picture.

i can always re paint later.

yes it is bloody shameful, but then the bomber boys were classed as second class citizens after the war.
when you think that boys the same age as my son died in their thousands for this country, the modern government should be ashamed of them selves.

Not much to report today i am afraid.
drew the panel lines on the nose and sealed the paint with a coat of polyc.
finished the first coat of paint on the canopy.

thats it.
some jobs take forever to do.
