This looks a great plane Andy. I spent all day on a Herc when I was 17 flying weapons around for a battalion re location and loved them ever since Eerie stuff Ian. I was 17 & 1/2 at the time! |

Pictures tomorrow but I can report some good progress. Both wing fences are done, whale tailplane assembled and one wing glued on.

Very short update tonight. The build stages are now finished and I've masked up the cockpit. She's ready for primer tomorrow.  |

Has to be the best looking airliner ever, the Comet is a close second but the VC10 tail is a work of art.
Nice work BTW Andy

Masking that does not look like fun .....great job fella Cheers Boots, A great deal of offensive language accompanied this stage. There had been very feint frames on the transparency but I had sanded most of them off. Nine windows done by eye doesn't make for a relaxing modelling session  At least I did have the foresight to do the masking before I glued on the refueling probe. Andy |

Early next year I plan to drag out a 1/72 Nimrod which has been calling to me, although the other half has been expressing her concerns about how much space it will take up! Andy |
