Love it Bish.
I thought that episode was on a Lank But what does this ole Yank know anyway?

Looking good, Martin! The Wellington is on my wish list as well.

Come on Joe, when do i build in 48th scale

.

You're right Martin....... I should've known.

But that makes it even better in terms of detail and overall build.

I had not heard of it until i read the kit instructions. I would guess being a Wimpy, he could at least grab hold of the framwork through the fabric covering.

Thanks BS. If you wnat a 72nd scale one, the Airfix looks very nice.

There was also a Sgt. Norman Jackson that did this On a Lancaster.

Thanks for the links Lyle.

I got the Wimpy wrapped up today. I just had the last bits to add and attach it to the base with the figures and equipment. The figures are a CMK set designed to be used with a Wellington. The tower, truck and lader are all from the Airfix bomber re-supply set.













This was a nice build, especially for an MPM kit. I've had worse. The CMK engines were a bit tricky, mainly getting the exhaust ring on, bt it got there in the end.

I'm also glad to get an aircraft from Feltwell on my completed list. When i worked at RAF Lakenheath, we also worked on the base at Feltwell. Much of the old base is still there including the wartime hangers this aircraft would have used.
