Well John Merrick is dressed.
With seat belts in place but not fixed yet.
He finishes the cockpit off quiet well.
Ok he is not as good as other people could do, but i like him.

Somebody called me 'pretentious' the other day.
I nearly choked on my latte.

He looks good Tony, I for one haven't got the guts to have a go at making one. 
What method do you use to secure the canopy? And will it be the same method to secure the turrets on the Lancaster?

been covering the fuselage today, between jobs round the house anyway.
still need to cover the fin and stab, rudder and elevators.
hopefully have it all sealed and ready for paint by sat.

Been slopping some paint about.
Bit of black.
Bit of blue.
Bit of silver.
Need to do the black stripes on the horizontal stab and then flip it over and paint the underside.
Black stripe across the fin and a fully black rudder.

Scribbled some panel lines on today and made a start on the markings.
Need to do the black and white invasion stripes under the star next, then weathering and final seal.
After christmas i will get back onto the wing as i need to order the retracts and oleo's from china.

who ever comes up with the right money i expect, though i would like to keep one one day.
Can't do much more as i need to sort the retracts in the wing next and i can not afford them till after Christmas.
so it will go on hold and i will get on with something else for now.
