The paintwork is very nice - particularly the canopy framing. Very crisp!

A classic model of a classic bomber.

Thanks to all of you.

It’s always nice when your work is appreciated.

I’ll just add some description of the small modifications I made during my build:
All painting has been done with a pair of normal brushes, almost no masking
(ripped a decal when I pulled it off) and a selection of Humbrol paints.

Ribs in the cockpit made by masking tape. (Hard to see through the framing/glass).

Motor covers has been given a demarcation line with a sharp needle to have a defined line to
make it easier to paint the bronze/copper front.

The “petals” at the back of the motors has been separated with a razor saw to make the look more defined.

A little modification in the gun turret with a scrap of plastic to leave the figure out.

The plentitude of rivets has been rubbed almost down to make the overall appearance more to scale
and to make the decals conform better to the surface.

Moving surfaces has been cut to make the look a little more dynamic with a reposition.

Made cockpit rails behind the cockpit with some thin slivers of label material.

I replaced the tail wheel with one from my spare part box (The original has an enormous ejection mark).

Made antenna wire from heat-stretch plastic (A little on the heavy side, I know).

I think that was all…

Jesper.

Excellent!! That looks lovely!

I've got the reissue to make, and yes the fuselage looks like it's going to be a pig to fit!
