Excellent bob, skip the glue bit and you have a variable pitch upgrade :-)

Having spent the last couple of months messing with a 1/6 scale car, 1/48 does seem very small :-)

Off we go then.....i decided to start with the engine because there is a lot of cutting to do to the basic kit and i dont want to do that till i know i have succeeded with the Eduard stuff....just hedging my bets :) It took 2 hours just to separate the parts from their print frames :)...

Its come on a bit but this is a picture i took in 2004....

The fighter collection at Duxford UK has one of these under restoration to fly, i think the build has stalled at the moment because of the near impossible to obtain engines. The US also had one which i think came from Aus but the US one will has US engines...

Thought i had better stake my claim to a space here for my Tamiya P38J 1/48 I think i might have gone a little overboard with the extras but i will give them a go :-) Eduard will need to change their Logo packaging where they cross out Brass and put Resin...

My MGB had an oil flinger and they were common on early BSA motorcycles. :) This a great build, Hi Tim, anyone can buy the accessories but scratch build is what makes the model yours. Great effort on that strap :-)

Nice build blog paul, looking forward to seeing the progress here. Footnote/ When i was a kid in the 70's we found a JU88 in the woods about a mile from my home. It had gone in and as was often the case it had just been filled in on top with soil. It was a lone night raider shot down by a night...

I used the normal micro set on the Decals i made for a car and ended up with nice white bits of carrier film stuck to it as the setting agent ate the printed ink on my home made decals :-)

well i really did my best but this has beaten me. This is the rear light assembly. the one on the right is shaped and tapered to fit the recess in the body and doesnt look to bad. The one on the left is just another right had side one fitted upside down and simply doesnt fit. They did the same...
