Archimedes Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hi Tom Impressive work on the cowlings. Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing how you do the engines if no HK alternative appears. Well done! Best regards, Paul tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Superb update Tom, all coming along very nicely. Great idea on holding those nacelles while painting! Some of my best work has been done after a couple or four Regards. Andy tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Paul Thanks, Paul - the HK parts I have are going to be fine as far as my initial fiddling has shown. Nothing worth photographing yet, but I'll shoot some pictures when there's something worth reporting.

scvrobeson Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Excellent ingenuity Tom! Guess having that massive spares pile can come in handy some times. At least that's what I tell myself. Matt Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what I tell myself. Matt Absolutely! If I ever have any spare parts left over from a kit I always keep them as you never know when they’ll come in handy. I have an old Revell 1/32 He-111 box and Trumpy 1/32 F-18 box crammed full of parts and I’m always dipping into them to scrounge bits for builds such as this. Never throw anything away! scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobinsonh Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Wow amazing work. This must be HUGE as a kit. I have the 1/48th resin Sunderland and had not started it as it is so big. tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westland WhirlWill Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Those cowlings look the business mate, can’t wait to see what it looks like with them fitted to those huge wings. Seriously impressive stuff! Will tomprobert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check in everyday hoping for some pictures...sometimes twice Sorry... very little progress to report as we’ve all been wiped out by a sickness bug. We think my 1 year old picked it up at a baby group and it’s progressively worked it’s way through the rest of us. I was wiped out for 2 days and since recovering have been nursing the wife and looking after my daughters so modelling has taken a backward step. We’re all recovered now though but are away next week on a short break so will get back to it as soon as I’m back!
