Finally dealt with the awful putty/paint lump on the belly, marking centerline for RAF bomb racks next to go on.

Thank you kind Sirs. More pics soon. Cockpit Juuust about ready I had fun going crosseyed applying individual Mike Grant Instrument decals and building the control yoke. Haven't found any reference material as to whether the ones that made it to Israel had single or double yokes, and the model 35 had both available, so just for fun I built it wit two.

Great work Casey. I'll bank the lesson on the tail planes for when I eventually get to one of these in my Zumbach collection.

Oh, that's great work, I just revisited my build of this kit from a few years ago. Nice to see someone wrestle this kit into submission. Very clean work.

Thanks Greg! As it actually nears the finish line, now I look at my Croco Models new tool V35, I think - man, I shoulda waited.. But this has been areal blast even with the ridiculous amount of time on it.

I've run into the "shoulda waited" idea a couple of times... in fact 2/3 of my current projects have that problem. I'm (re)building a DHC Chipmunk, which I previously built from the ancient Airfix kit and am now re-doing using the new AZmodel kit that I got off Robert Podkoński. I'm also building a very rough resin-cast model of a DH Puss Moth that I was inspired to hunt down after I saw Uwe's version... but 6 years later there's now a much easier polystyrene version available. That resin kit was hard to get ahold of, so it's getting built, no matter what! 😉

BTW, I should mention how great a job you did removing the rear windows. I did that too and it was a PAIN to get them smooth and without the "ghost" image of a window. Nice job.

Thanks Greg- started with a wood epoxy plug inside the fuselage, Tamiya white putty. Then I finally discovered ,and got a hold of DM's Perfect Plastic Putty, and that did it -along with several sand, fill, sand sessions. It's been fun but a long build - waiting for the Marabu British UBC racks now. - May actually get a camo coat on this weekend. I checked out your your TinTin builds - those are really cool!
