Carlos' showing off. Wow!

No showing off intended Torben. Just progress reports

Ok I’m calling this one complete.









I’ll get up a better post of all around views later. Have Christmas activities to attend to now.

Well done Carlos. If the tail looks crooked it's only because Torben is twisting it!

I won’t tell if you don’t

This Pegasus kit has been irritating me for some time, saying "come on, how hard can I be, I only have about 8 parts except for the 4 you have to make yourself". Out of frustration with the Italeri B-26K I ripped open the bag and header setup it came in and started super gluing parts. It will never be more than something similar to a WW II ID model, but that's better than no Martin Baker MB-5, right? The canopy fit was something of a mystery but I think I have it figured out. It will be painted smoke inside as there will be no interior detail, although they did include a snip of paper with a grainy photo of the cockpit with all the tin removed. Not for me. Tamiya does that better. There is a landing gear, I found it hiding in the flash on one of the sprues.

Looking good John! I've always liked the look of the MB.5, it's a shame more didn't come of it.

Interesting
