A fitting memorial to those that served, those that returned and those that gave their lives in the pursuit of freedom from tyranny. May we never forget! Fantastic build, great commentary and justice done to an aircraft that isn't as well known as others but did valiant service to those that flew in her.

Having all that detail and not being able to see it seems a waste. I have an old Monogram C47 that has massive amounts of internal detail but non can be viewed and I've often considered cutting away parts of the fuselage. Very nice finished project there.
@ModelNerd10 сағат бұрын
Thank you. I agree - there's a nice example of a Stirling cutaway online. I'm not sure I have the skill for that.
@potrzebieneuman470212 сағат бұрын
There you go, I had no idea the Stirling had a co-pilot, it must've been about the only one as most British Bombers had a pilot and the engineer who was expected to take over if the pilot was incapacitated.
@ModelNerd10 сағат бұрын
I didn't realise that either. The Manchester did have a co-pilot too, but the role and the second control column was removed when the design was converted to the Lancaster.

I have heard other model builders on You Tube say the same thing about how the kit they are working on doesn't have a lot of parts, and is not over engineered, and then they proceed to build up this nicely detailed interior that comes with the kit but it will not be seen! Doesn't THAT qualify as over engineered?
@ModelNerd10 сағат бұрын
Haha, fair point! I guess it depends on whether you look at the macro or micro scale. From a macro scale, the fuselage interior is overengineered. From the micro scale, the parts inside it are not :)

The stripes were put on quickly and were rarely perfect.
@ModelNerd13 сағат бұрын
Absolutely. For me the problem is trying to represent that imperfection without just making it look like a bad modelling job :) The same issue with the hand-applied snow camouflage on tanks etc.

What a nice kit. I need to try building some Italeri kits at some point I think.
@ModelNerd13 сағат бұрын
I was really pleased with it. The PE added a lot too, I thought - which isn't always the case. I'll be interested to build their Sunderland.

You were very kind towards this kit. I would have found it very frustrating by your explanation. I remember building a Revell or Monogram Kingfisher kit in the 70s with none of those issues.

On Mach2 kits, I glue on the allignement strips on both sides, - zig-zag. It gives me a slightly better control on these (horrible) joints.

How about on the outboard side of the landing bays you add material to match the thickness and add some plastic to bind the two wing sections together. You are definitely better at this than me MN.
