Nice job, Do you have to paint all the parts?

Looks good! I love a good model. I used to build model planes and at one point had 120 hanging from my bedroom ceiling. I once spent 3 months, about 6 hours a day, building and detailing a 1/48 scale B-24. Shortly afterwards I met a man who had been a gunner on B-24s in WW2. I wish you could have seen his face when I gave him that model! It's something I'll never forget.

Glockman, no on the painting. It came heat backed enamel

Dave...lookin' real sweet mate. I haven't built a true model for countless years. Its funny how, no matter how old we get, there is always some of the little boy left...enough to be able to enjoy building a model, and be able to appreciate it for what it is.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the motor mate. Don't forget to set the timing correctly mate. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince
