Cracking! How's it fitting together?....

Thanks all folks! @Andy, fit is quite good and I only used filler to correct a "step" on the upper fuselage. Interior is 100% OOB. The kit comes with a small etched fret for seat belts and other small details.

Amazing work on this one Paul! What did you use for the underside panel lines and rivet holes? Thanks

Thank you Sebastian! Those were coloured with a sludge wash: mix some acrylic paint with water and a bit of ordinary dishwash (to prevent the paint from properly adhering to the model), apply it generously and remove the excess after a few minutes with a dry cloth or q-tip. Follow the airflow.

You see a lot of pictures of Stirlings with collapsed undercarriages as this was their Achilles heel.

Album info

This is one from 6 RAF bombers that I built simultaneously. Thought it would be time saving but in retrospect it was another bad idea.
