Greetings All,

Boxscale Hawker 1081- no progress

1/32 BAT FK23 - some progress. Cockpit access hole in top wing cut out. Clear doped linen colour applied to bottom surfaces. Still pondering how
                          To do the engine cylinders.

1/40 Messerschmitt Me 163- some progress - cleaning up fuselage shape. Working on rib tapes for flying surfaces. Nutting out the wing slats
                                           Then comes the undercarriage.

Cheers

Gordon
