Looking down my list I find the 1/24 Hawker Hurricane Mk 1 flown by Sqn. Ldr. Peter Townsend of 85 Squadron, Church Fenton, September 1940. Maybe a bit too big Juggling

Next is Boulton Paul Defiant of No. 8 Sqn, flown by Pilot Officer Frantisek Chabera with Sgt. Karel Bednarik, 1941. But hasn't someone already claimed a Defiant

The next oldest is a BAC TSR.2, XP219 flown by chief test pilot Roland Bearmont over Preston, Lancashire. Not ready for that one yet Nailbiting

So it looks like it'll have to be 04001 Vickers Armstrong Wellington B.III to represent FQ-S s/n Z1732 of 12 OTU, based at Chipping Warden from June 1941 to January 1945.

Here's what I've been doing

My interpretation of the interior

Next to nothing can actually be seen

I replaced two of the kit crew with two altered ones from my spares box

The joining of the fuselage was problematic in that it seemed very thin, and needed persuading to marry up Nailbiting

I seem to remember having this problem with mine Ratch. It's caused by the front turret being slightly too large for the hole I think.

I like your build!

I once stood with a Wellington like yours and gave it away to a friend to lure him into our hobby

It didn't work though

.

All the best from Jesper.

That looks like a challenge

What are the diamonds on the wings? Fabric Panels? Armour Plating? Asbestos Roof Tiles

Really starting to take shape now Richard!

Are you brushing with acrylics or enamels?

TIA & All the best

Enamels, the black's gone down very nicely
