I get to that point in every build….usually gets better towards the end as I can see the end. The Avenger is really trying my patience at the moment. Every single fit has to be opened out as it’s too tight…..really slows the build downThanks very much guys,glad someone's still looking in....
Anyway,I've moved on a little.. tittavated the motor somewhat and added tail wings,also the undercarriage is fixed in at the moment...

Some weathering to be done,and more tiny bits to be added to the wings, I'm looking forward to getting this one over the line now.Been good fun,but becoming a chore!!
Cheers for now,
Andy
Well, despite the poor pictures,I'm getting to the end of this one now ....
Got the decals on,small and large!!.. Also sealed it all with Semi gloss,so,it should be all completed tomorrow
.. although I do have to do the open cockpit stuff with the MG too
..
So there it is.. crap pictures,and not great scenarios... But it's nearly done,and I'll get better pictures up when it's complete

Mighty fine job you 2 are dong, Mr Smiff!!! That is looking great with the decals on it too!!! I'm afraid I have to agree with your note under the post. I have also been seriously bitten by these damn wing thing machines......Is there a cure Andy???...Or are we just having a great time building them...

Thanks very much mate
.... as for the Wingy thing bug... As far as I'm concerned at the moment..
... There's no getting away from it
Yup!!! I'm afraid you are so correct my friend!!! I just wish the heat wave here would subside so I can drive on at the table on my floaty bird...Best wishes to Rach and Cohan too. Hope all is well in uptown Devon!...

Cheers Rick,"bits" are on, just gotta sort the canopy out this afternoonLooks right from this angle too Mr. Smiff....now git the "bits" on this crate, it's on the Go list for the next mission!
Thanks Tony,it is a nice scheme, however,2 in a row is enough for a while though... It was tricky to mask up
Cheers Andy,much appreciated
Thanks Geoff, hopefully with all the other stuff on,and the wash rubbed back, it'll look the part.Love it Andy, it looks fantastic
Geoff.
.... and longer....and longer.....

Wow Andy, this is come on massively since i last looked in... and she's looking mighty fine indeed, that three tone scheme looks spot on mate... looking forward to the finished pics now...
Thank you very much Chris, I'm pleased you like it....Wow Andy, this is come on massively since i last looked in... and she's looking mighty fine indeed, that three tone scheme looks spot on mate... looking forward to the finished pics now...
... Watch on mind

Ok then all you reprobates,(and you Rick )....
Tis now "finished",....or as I class finished anyway!
... This has been a cracking little kit, despite it's age,and went together rather well,(apart from the canopy bits right at the end), anyway,I like this three part camo scheme, although as previously said,the masking was a bit tricky,so two builds in a row with it is enough for a while 
, anyway, enough of my ramblings...
... ere be pics,(just a few indoor ones....too windy this evening for outdoor ones!)...
.... So there you go,all done now,2 done from me for Karl's GB.A big thanks to him for organising it... and I hope your family circumstances are improving mate
So,back to the kit, I'd certainly recommend it, for the money and quality it's a " must try" imho .
Thanks to all for looking in and your comments/thoughts along the way, cheers for now,
Andy
