My Little Tribute To Bomber Command

[Dave The Chef]

I picked up a Trumpeter 1/72 Vickers Wellington on the cheap a couple of weeks back. We've had quite a bit on the telly over here on BC at the moment due the unveiling of the memorial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomber_Command_Memorial
So here's my salute to the bomber boys -

Not far to go now...

[Dave The Chef]

Many thanks guys! Should have this one wrapped up soonish

 

[Phil]

What can I say, Model Jedi!!!

Very nice tribute to all those brave guys :drinks

 

[Dave The Chef]

Thanks Phil

Well here she's done and I do hate taking pics of these big planes - I just don't have the room for any decent pics I'm afraid - and before any smart arse says go outside - I live in England and it's raining!
I did have a couple of small mishaps with this - the turrets fogged a bit DOH! and I lost one of the small wheel well doors but never mind...

Here's to those that came back and the 55,573 who didn't.

Looks great Dave. Something neat about the Wimpy. Been tempted to pick up the Trumpeter 1/48 kit. I see it quite often on ebay for under 30 bucks.
