Yes! Following! Eager to see what you do with this kit @flypastrush. I am intrigued but the complex canopy/glass scares me off.
Fly Past Rush said 3 months, 3 weeks ago:

Yes @fxrob there certainly is a good amount of glass canopy with framing everywhere on this Anson… that (later ) task is certainly going to burn of a few hours! (I have a Hudson on rhe go as well which isn’t going to be a whole lot easier in that department) Thanks for following along here.

Excellent entry and ditto progress, my friend @flypastrush! Looking forward to it!

Great entry as well, @flypastrush
Your start to 2025 is impressive.
Fly Past Rush said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

Spreading out the progress a bit today on my multiple projects, with some work on the 1/48th Anson for a change. In the pits for the most part. The framing detail is looking pretty convincing here. Lots of points to line up for the fuselage join coming up soon… so patience required. (Not nearly as much patience that will be needed at the time of canopy masking but still…)

Another cool build, @flypastrush. I have wanted to build one of these since I saw them in a movie from WW2 with Jimmy Cagney. I have one sitting in the garage, so I will be taking notes.

Beautiful interior, my friend @flypastrush! Yes, patience will get you there.
John vd Biggelaar said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

That's a great looking interior, @flypastrush

A bit more progress on the 1/48th Airfix Anson, with some wing and tail sub-assembly work done. So far very impressed with this Airfix offering with the surprisingly nice attention to detail as well as excellent instructions. The subtle surface detail is the most “not your typical Airfix kit” aspect to me - Well done!

Nice work on the sub assemblies, @flypastrush
In general those newer Airfix kits are quite nice from my experience.
Felix said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

Looks like this is among Airfix' best. Reminds me of the superiors quality & detail of the 1/48th Blenheim. Would you consider it a difficult build, @flypastrush? The interior looks great, by the way.
George R Blair Jr said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

I'm surprised the tail is a separate assembly, @flypastrush. It will be interesting watching the fuselage come together.
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 months, 2 weeks ago:

Excellent progress on this nice kit, my friend @flypastrush!

Felix, So far the assembly is fairly straight forward (mainly because the instructions are quite comprehensive, so pay close attention). ...an then Ooooh, hit the first of the snags on the 1/48th Airfix Anson build when I arrived at the cowling stage... and I have heard rumblings about the wings... So let's see how it goes from here,
