In anticipation of this starting on Monday, here's the kit I'll be building.

I've started by painting the interior, and the cockpit parts, as well as the pilots.
The kit seems okay so far. Not too much flash, and only one propellor blade that's become detached from the hub. Still, if that's all then that's not too bad!

I know I've been a bit quiet on this one, but I have been working on it, Honest guv!
I've got the cockpit and the turret completed. They went together fairly well, but I did have to file the pilot's feet off to get him to fit!
I've now got the windows in and the cockpit together, but I haven't got a picture of that yet. It's currently held together with elastic bands!
So, I'm progressing steadily!
Paula

That masking looks good!

Thanks Heggy, the masking wasn't easy, but I'm plesed that it's come out okay in the end!!
Here's my Hudson fuselage together
Today I managed to get the wings and the empennage on.
So it's now looking a lot like a Hudson.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the engines built, and then it's almost ready for painting.

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I have been progressing with this one.
I've got the engines built
They've now been attached, as have all the other bits and pieces, except for the aerials that are black, and the guns. All these will be added once the painting is complete.
I've got the entire aircraft H64ed now, so it's nearly ready for the camouflage to be painted. This will only be on the top as the belly is H64.
It's nearly there!
Paula

I've started laying out the camouflage by painting the H30 on the top.
It's had two coats and looks fairly solid. This evening I've started the first coat of H29, so it's looking fairly good now. I'll take a picture of it with the H29 on, when the paint's dried and I can move it!

Well, I know it's been a while since I posted, and I thought I'd lost these photos, but found them on the memory card tonight! 
So here's my Hudson painted in H29 and H30.
And, here it is finished!!
Just in time!
The rest of the pictures are in the gallery.
