This is good stuff !

I especially like the PR Spitfire photo and the Doolittle Raider painting...

If by chance you should happen to leave a part in a place not under "Keepers" area of operation, he may simply quote Sgt. Schultz from Hogan's Heroes... "I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing".

David, that package got there faster than my mother-in-law comes when my wife rings her to drop by for dinner!
Both foes are looking especially good. I was impressed by the work on the Boeing, but Franz is also spot on. Cheers!

I have a soft spot for my mother-in-law, Pedro. It’s out in the yard, right behind the garage.

Thanks for the comments, my friend. And the help.

Thanks, David, and welcome ‘home’. As has become a regular fixture on my final post of a project I’d like to thank everyone for contributing to what has been a thread full of fun, education, silliness (possibly covers the vast majority of the posts), and of course, sadness at the passing of Bernard (one of the first to post on the thread).

I’ll stick this on the ‘headlines’ at the weekend (only one or two small finishing touches to make on the Fortress) and onto the next project. My last photo on this WiP is below - the 109 in the beautiful skies we have in London today.

My thoughts to friends in the path of ‘Florence’ - god speed and keep safe.

Thanks, Peter. I certainly agree about the sunlight (can’t argue with it as a light source even at 93 million miles away). I have hugely appreciated your input, interest, and humour during this build and it’s been a much richer experience having you on board my (slightly bonkers) friend.

Well, here we go ... better late than never. After reading about all the various moves, lost spinner, lost pilot, lost windscreen, Kobayashi Maru and other wonderful topics ... not to mention a stellar Bf109 & CB's B17 with great photos, it is time to comment again.

Bernie would be proud. He & I discussed this very project the last time we talked, which was about 4 days before he passed. David, you have done well, my friend. Blurred props and feathered, missing Franz and his spinner - all has come together for a wonderful diorama that I really like and look forward to the soon-to-be-revealed completion. Have you thought of some way to hide the wooden base? Perhaps a map or photo of the Channel, or as Peter suggested, the White Cliffs between Dover and Eastbourne. E-Bourne brings back great memories for me personally as it is where I met my Scottish Lass and stole her away 32 years ago to come to the US of A. Soon I will celebrate her Birthday and she will celebrate mine ... both of us are September babies - and both on the 26th. Different years, but the same day. I shall NEVER forget her Birthday. So I celebrate a common (month) of Birthday as do many others here and I hope - belatedly - you had a wonderful Birthday last weekend, David!

Bravo!

David T (and others) I hope you and the moving boxes are soon parted so you can get things back to whatever passes for "normal" at your house. I haven't had to move in 22 years but we are contemplating a move from our 2-level house to a one-story affair with NO STAIRS! Olde Age seems to be very hard on knees and lower backs.

Trudge - trudge - trudge.

🙁

I told you so. Bonkers, Peter.
