Looking forwards to this getting your usual masterful treatment Daniel. This was one of my first kits as I returned to modelling and I loved it. Have fun. 👍.

Daniel Klink
Hello Ben and Gary and a warm welcome to you Mates..
But a little patience is needed here because the ineterior (though not much will be séen in the end) is more than overdone by Trumpeter.
So it will take a while before progress will be seen her🙂

Cuajete
It doesn't matter how much time passes, Daniel. I'll be there to see the progress.
Following!

David Taylor
In as well Daniel.I have the 48 in the stash.

Daniel Klink
Welcome Mates, glad you are interested and thanks for the patience..👍

Jay Dubya
Oh this will be good - watching a model master at work here

Łukasz Gliński
"Wow!!! And you will see nearly nothing in the end." So, why bother ? 😛
What camo? Checkerboards perhaps?

Also with the crazy PART set for the bomb bay? _THAT_ would be a "real Etching orgy" (borrowed from your intro text) 😉

Cuajete
Interior color looking so good, Daniel 👍

Oleg Smilyk
Great work with the interior, Daniel!Looks promising!

Daniel Klink
Hi cuajete and Oleg!
Thanks mates, but you will really see nothing after all!
If you wonder about the red brown parts!
They used a red brown primer coat outside that soaked into the fabric skin !

Bernd Grün
Great start, Daniel. 👍 Following!

Cuajete
Thx for the info, Daniel 👍

Daniel Klink
Hi Bernd, and thank you for the warm words 👍
@cuajete de nada 🙂

Marcel Klemmer
Interesting project Daniel 👍I will take a seat 😉

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Good looking interior 👍

Daniel Klink
Hi Marcel and Robin and a warm welcome and thank you for your interest mates 👍

Daniel Klink
Hi, Trumpeter did a good job with the montage of the wings and Ailerons👍
You can easily take them off for painting or transport and the fit is very good!

Cuajete
Interesting... 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Easy-click? 😮

Daniel Klink
Hi mates yes easy click😁
Nothing glued yet all just „clicked together😉

Łukasz Gliński
And how do you un-cli[n]ck it then?

Daniel Klink
Hi lukasz!
The wing halves are of course glued sorry😉
Also i will glue the fuselage halves😉
But you can easily take off the main wings and ailerons😉

Gary Kitchen
Loving the crew detail, especially the dynamic pose of the crew member moving between sections 👍

Cuajete
I agree with Gary 👌

Guy Rump
The crew detail is excellent, build is looking great Daniel. 👍

Daniel Klink
Hi Mates! Thanks and really happy you like the progress
Though the crew figures are a bizt oversized!
Had to do some surgery on the pilot to make hin fit into the Cockpit😁😉

Gary Kitchen
Hi Daniel, I did wonder about the scaling of this Wimpy when I finished mine as it does not seem very big when sat alongside a 1:72 Spitfire for example. Having not seen two such aircraft side by side in real life I wasn't sure. So do we think the plane is undersized or the figures oversized, I'm just not sure? Genuine question? But should a 1:72 scaled anything, sat alongside a 1:72 scale something else, accurately reflect the proportions of their real-life counterparts?

Daniel Klink
God Point, but thePilot did not fit into the seat in any way.. Thats a fact🙂

Cuajete
Nice pre-shading, Daniel 👌.
This time there was no marbling?

Daniel Klink
Hi Mate, thanks and no most of the weathering and shading will be done after painting.
The special structure of the Wimpy u know?🙂

Cuajete
It will be a pleasure to see the results of a great master expert like you again 🙂 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Daniel Klink
Too much honor Cuajte you are making me blush...
Thank you Villiers...👍
Meanwhile the main camowork is done..

bughunter
Nice play with color shades 👍

Skyhiker
Not sure how I missed this.

James C
Nice work on the camouflage Daniel 👍

Cuajete
Nice colors, Daniel! 👍

Rui S
Looking great 👍

Alberto
Great paint job 👍

Lost_Erik
Looking good. 👍

Roberto Rocat
Nice and interesting 👍

Cuajete
Decals looks so good, Daniel. Did the decals adapt well to the skeletal cloth of the model?

Daniel Klink
Thank you very much mates for your warm and nice comments 👍
The decals are not that good and a lot of Gunzes Softener was needed.
But the biggest mistake as always had been made by the modeler. I confused the position for the exhausts with the ones for the Mk.I.
Trumpeter does not note that in their manual that you just have to change the cowlings with each other but a good look at reference pics would have helped.
So stupid but i will put the blame for this to my lack of experience with RAF planes. 🙂

Daniel Klink
Its getting dirty !

Łukasz Gliński
My fav part of the Wimpy builds - when they got the colours 👍

Bernd Grün
Very nice build of that Wellington, Daniel. It's turn out impressive. 👍

Andy Ball
It's looking good Daniel!

Pietro De Angelis
Beatiful!

Cuajete
Great!

Villiers de Vos
That masking is very neat.

Gary Kitchen
Agree with Villiers, a masterclass in canopy masking.

David Taylor
Very crisp canopy lines there.

Jv
Very butiful model and work
Now just get your bread knife out and cut it in half
So all can see all the fabulous detail

Daniel Klink
Wow! Thank you all so much gentlemen for your nice and warm words..
Very much appreciated..👍
@JV yap this is really a pity that you do not see anything once the halves are closed.

Jv
Yes your right bit atleast we got to see it here before
You put it together but yes I think this one should be cut in half to see all the work inside
Fantastic work and a butiful model

bughunter
Sehr schick 👍

David Taylor
Very smart wimpy Daniel.

Gary Kitchen
Wonderful 👍

Patryk S.
Outstanding result! Congratulations Daniel.

Cuajete
Very nice job as always, Daniel 👌
Congrats!

Daniel Klink
Thanks again Mates for your really nice words..
But it is still not ready yet 🙂

Daniel Klink
So the wimpy is finally finished

Guy Rump
Very impressive Wimpy and dio Daniel, congrats! 👍

David Taylor
Is that a Bombay in the background in pic 36.

bughunter
Your results are better and better 👍
@David That looks like a cutting mat?

Daniel Klink
Thank you so much mates for your nce and warm words!
@David yes and a cutting mat, you are both right! I have to really work over my fotografic efforts.
@Frank Thank you so much mate, and i am relly proud you see progress in my projects..
Just a few months til Wilnsdorf mate 👍

Lochsa River
Sweet build!

one impression....the wings look more weathered than the fuselage...a bit of a mismatch...

Cuajete
Great result and fantastic dio, Daniel 👌
Congrats!
Also Bedford looks really good! It's the old Airfix's tool?

Rui S
Excellent as usual 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Very nice finish mate! The rear fuselage is a bit too clean indeed, but I love the fabric shading on the wings, turned out great 👍

Daniel Klink
Thanks mates, very much appreciate your kind words.....
And you really got a point there Lochsa and Lukasz.. I think i should add a bit of dust and rainmarks there too
But anyway there are a few things more that went wrong. As already mentioned i confused the positions of the exhaust with the Mk.IC
Hence the reargun on the backboard side went missing so i have to wait for replacement..

James C
Congrats Daniel, thats an awesome result 👍

Kyle DeHart
Awesome job Daniel! Looks fantastic

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

bughunter
Sorry Daniel, WD is not on the list next year.

Bernd Grün
Absolute lovely build. 👌 I'm excited. Cheers Daniel!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
👍 Awesome!

Michael Kohl
Very nice Welly.

Neuling
Looks very good the way it is. The missing rear gun obviously is off for repair .............

Alec K
Beautiful build Daniel. Wishing you happy Holidays!

Christoph Schnarr
Beautiful Wimpy 👍

Daniel Klink
Many thanks, James, Kyle, Villiers, Bernd, Robin, Michael, Neuling, Alec and Christoph 👍
Really glad you like the outcome👍

Daniel Klink
@Nuling Good idea btw.. 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
Great finish here!
I really like how you present all these objects together.
The overall impression looks very harmonious!
Good choice of colors.
The colour scheme inside is also excellent.

Andy Ball
What is truly stunning is the B&W shot, makes it look even more war-era.

Cuajete
I totally agree with Andy 👍
...And I keep wondering if that Bedford is the old Airfix tool 😉
Great job again, Daniel! 👌

David Taylor
Love the B&W pictures.

Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Simon, Andy, Cuajete and David 👍
Really glad you like the outcome and the presentation.!
@Cuajete it is a AEC Matador and yes it is from the old Airfix refuelling set in 1/76

David Taylor
Daniel,you could up the scale and do one in 48 and get the matching refueller from AA.

Cuajete
Sorry, Daniel... I thought it was a Bedford. Looks great. Thank you!

Daniel Klink
@david a question of space😉
@ cuajete me at first too😉

David Taylor
LOL.

Daniel Klink
@david
Yes so i will wait for a release in 72 😉
