    Huge progress today. I can’t say enough about the engineering in this kit. It’s a real pleasure to build, just like the Airfix Wellington, Whitley, Beaufort, Beaufighter, and Blenheim…..
    I think I may get away without even a touch of Mr. Surfacer on this one. Finally, it looks like I have enough weight in the plane.

    This is really moving along, John (@j-healy). I love these newer Airfix kits. Everyone one I have built has great engineering that goes together perfectly. Looking forward to the paint soon.

    Looks promising that the nose has to be supported in one of the pictures!

    Masked up and pretty much ready for paint. I also couldn’t resist starting the Airfix Atlantic Wildcat. I’ll be spraying a lot of white paint over the weekend! I literally built it in 2 days. Nice little kit. Airfix positioned the drop tanks inboard of the oil coolers. That’s wrong. They should be in front of the outside edges of the oil coolers.

    Looking great! Glad to know there's a mask set for this - I also have one in the stash!

    Dear John @j-healy, both your kits are coming along very nicely! I have the B25 in my stash too as the RAF version and your build sure is a great appetizer!
