Great work so far Eric! I'm excited to see you putting the engine in, and I love your work on the IP.

Ignore the second photo, that was Col Pay's P-40E that is totally unrelated to the F. The F is still airworthy and displays at airshows around Australia.

Great photos, thanks so much for sharing! I love seeing any restoration, but grassroots stuff like this is always fascinating. G-MKIV, the first one that didn't last long, was also a Boly. Believe it or not there's only one real Blenheim left and it's in Finland.

I really, really like the look of that British Interior Green.

I guess that includes replicas and movies as you can only repaint 320 airframes so many times

Real shrink-ray stuff, I love it! Top job Matt!

Nice work Shawn! I quite like the finish, and the little touches like exhaust staining on the werknummer. Bravo! This would be a cool thing to see and hear fly. Sad there's just one left.

Beautiful work, it looks excellent! I really need to get one of these. I have to admit I didn't realise the rotors were mounted in some of the top-angle photos, the way they blended in with the background! I thought the vertical stab and rudder had been shortened.

Excellent stuff Iain! It's great to see the wiring going in. And I'm glad you pointed out the odd finish was thanks to sanding, I was dreading that it would be panel shading. I'd hate to see such an amazing build ruined like that!

Fantastic choice Eric, I'm super excited to follow this one. I admit I was wondering why you were bothering to make a replacement IP, then you showed the PE part...solely based on warbird photos, your piece is infinitely superior! It really captures the look of the Boomer's panel. I'm settling in for this one.

Bravo Paul, as nailbiting as it's been for us following along on forums and social media it utterly pales into comparison with what Suzy and yourself are going through. Best wishes from a Kiwi fan.

I hope I'm not too late to chime in with my picks, let's just say for the next three! 46876907-E472-4E95-8E4A-65602CECE08B_zps2xt6sp73 by Zac Yates, on Flickr 3C60085A-0A4E-421D-BB2E-E2744D8994C1_zpsgsfegupu by Zac Yates, on Flickr 40C03A2E-6985-464B-BCA5-59A90F3EBE2C_zpswwm2yyal by Zac Yates, on Flickr

I imagine it would be incredibly unlikely, but I'd love to see a test shot of each Lanc on the same table...

There aren't any (from Airfix at least). I asked on Facebook and they said they have some for us to look forward to next year but no more at Telford, just this.

That's the one I'd build, Ross and Keith Smith's G-EAOU. Although I'd want to build it as the replica when she flew the route in 1994. I don't know if it helps we Vimy fans' chances but Sir Peter Jackson does own at least one large model of the type (although I can't find my photo to prove it). As always, I like to rationalise my wishlist with what Sir Peter owns in 1:1. So with that in mind I'd be happy if it was any of these: CC7F683C-CE59-4718-9354-5A0F9D2C2023_zps2jtrdam3 by Zac Yates, on Flickr 3C60085A-0A4E-421D-BB2E-E2744D8994C1_zpsgsfegupu by Zac Yates, on Flickr 40C03A2E-6985-464B-BCA5-59A90F3EBE2C_zpswwm2yyal by Zac Yates, on Flickr 1EF08D2A-82A2-4713-ADF5-79AD4367CED0_zpsqy6qgy1y by Zac Yates, on Flickr 6A916861-29EC-40F4-BB44-A1CF5FD0AA96_zpsef1ohgbu by Zac Yates, on Flickr And given it's been a while since we've seen floats or a hull, this would be very welcome: 14AC31E0-A17F-4495-AF48-F288C179B4FE_zps8gyh2hue by Zac Yates, on Flickr
