About this Group
I want to dedicate this group to planes and schemes from the early stages of the war. It was a period of great changes in technology and i believe it deserves more attention.
I have long had a soft spot for british planes from the 1930ies / early 1940ies. I love their looks and i mostly like the camouflage schemes with the black & white underbellies. But french and belgium liveries for instance are also very interesting and somewhat underrepresented. I personally look forward to building lots of Wellingtons, Blenheims or Lysanders.

Very nice work! I have no idea about the original colour used inside the Morane cockpit but yours looks great -
Thanks my friend @yellow10! -
@gblair George, you have already overcome a couple of bumps in the road. The wing root fill is expertly done. Shape is looking excellent! I agree with your philosophical outlook. A model isn’t the real thing - […] -
Nearly there @fiveten , Spiros. Underside looking perfect!

Thanks a lot, my friend @fxrob! You are in Syros!

Dear George @gblair, I agree with you. Perfectionism is just a bad thing. It has hurt me in many ways, made me unable to enjoy things and in general has not helped improve things at all. Less is more. And your […] -
This is one great looking Spit, Spiros @fiveten! Greetings from Syros!

After some hiatus, landing gear attached...

That's a really excellent looking cockpit, my friend @yellow10!

Hi, Stephen (@stephen-w-towle) and Felix (@fxrob): This is a pretty good kit. Everything sort of fits, but nothing fits perfectly. For the rudder, the problem wasn't an angular offset along the centerline, it […] -
Looks great, Paul @yellow10. The cockpit it the tedious part. Now you can close up the fuselage and start working with the bigger parts.
-
The shapes of the dark green patterns really do look very realistic, Gary @gwskat! I tend do lose some details of it usually when i use blue tack. Yours has it all!

Absolutely gorgeous looking cockpit, Paul @yellow10!
-
Looks all good to me, George @gblair. But i think us modellers, we are all a bit perfectionists, aren’t we?
-
I wonder if the vertical stabilizer was offset to account for the "P" factor, which may account for the fuselage not being perfectly level between the two halves.. Some kit manufactures catch that detail. […] -
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement gents. Not a lot of progress today. Just ticking over. Fitted the cockpit inserted the lower instrument panel. Made the upper instrument panel.
-
Thanks, Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb): We will see how well things came together after a few rounds of sand and fill. Lots of seams to fix, along with rescribing.

Thanks All! -
