Mark 1- As shown on right. Frazer nash FN7 turret at the end of a piece of dowel.

Working on decals for Mark IV.

Looking good. At 1/144 that should be about 10cm long?

  Measures 185mm but it was to go with the Horsa I made.
There is a 1/144 Hamilcar that was partly cut out at the same time.
Managed to make up a set of decals for them.

Coming on nicely Gordon, regards Paul J.

[Boomerang]

Thank you Paul.

Some progress with the Mk1.

Traverse ring fitted. Turret still attached to dowel. Makes it a bit easier to paint.

Some propellers cut out. Engines require scoops and exhausts . I won't be doing the flame damping (  a wee bit small).

Hope to have one if not both finished by 31 DEC.

Cheers

I wish you well on your projects. Not much time left. I was in a Christmas parade this evening so no more build time today.
