'Mrs Bonnie'

[ij001]

Building this for a STGB over at Britmodeller - Tamiya's 1:32 kit. Won't be an OoB build and may not get done in the time-frame especially as we're 'going home' for a holiday just after New Year, but other than one other project (the Hornet), I'm clearing the bench of everything to focus on this one.

Put the 'block' together this morning and mixed/sprayed a cocktail of Tamiya acrylic XF-56 & XF1.

Thanks for looking and/or commenting. Please feel free to make any comments or ask any questions throughout the build.

Great kit.

I love it when 'nice things' happen - surprisingly got some 'me time' this afternoon so built/sprayed the supercharger section and added it to the block.

Doesn't look too bad even if I say so m'self. Hopefully more tomorrow.

First test-fit of the block in to the fuselage and looking OK...

Been working on the Hornet today so back to 'Mrs Bonnie' tomorrow.

Little more done:

Various gauges of fuse wire and stiff florists wire in bundles and individually (super)glued in to place. Not doing too much here just enough to add some interest. My last set of resin updates arrived this morning, so after finishing-up in the wheel wells, I can jump back into the 'pit.
