No guys, it's not. Why? Well, this was the first big one I built after a 30-years stop. I had to build up my skills again and learn new ones, but I'm making some progress. 😉 As you can see on this Lanc: I didn't tape the window frames back then. I learned that only last year. The same goes for applying the aerials for which I use fishing line. Apart from that the decals of this early seventies kit desintegrated when hitting the water, so I took them from the VE-day set by Airfix. They were bad too and Im could'nt prevent the silvering, in spite of the use of Set en Sol. But I did like building it.

Dont be too hard to yourself!
My models turned out more worse after my break in modeling!😢

Jan...
Firstly: If you had'nt said anything, I would not of had a second look with a more critical eye.
Secondly: I agree with Holly.
Thirdly: I have yet to meet a modeller who is 100% happy with his build. We all know our models better than the viewer. We all know our own mistakes, errors, cock-ups and we all feel a pang of guilt when the viewer says, Oh! sir what a great build. But why spoil the viewers perception???
Mistakes add character!!!

Salvatore Ferragina
I agree with Steve, we are always very strict in judging our models.

What's that cylinder shape thing under it's belly?

Holger Kranich
Looks like an Aerial Mine!

Thank you Holger!

Jan Voorbij Forfatter
Thanks for the support guys. Yes, we are sometimes a bit harsh, but it urges us to do better next time 😉
Es-haq Khosravi What's that cylinder shape thing under it's belly: it houses the H2 radar and is made of plexiglass, that was painted all black.

O sorry, you mean the bomb in the bay! That is a socalled cookie containing several types op explosives, but most often incendaries.

Thank you Jan!
