My Next project is.....
Revells 1/48 B17F Memphis Belle. Lots of nasty green plastic, no real detail and soft soft old moulding. I'm gonna have to chop chop away LOL!!!
First plan is to open the fuselage doors and remove the moving surfaces ready to add a bit of interest. Might put some added scratch detail inside.

Final (ish) pics of my Revell 1/32nd Mk22 Spitfire.
So matted down and weathered pics of the mk22 by Revell. I chopped the ailerons, rudder and elevators/horizontal stabilisers to give a bit of interest. I had to support the main undercarriage with 2.5mm mains electrical copper cable stripped back to the copper and super glued into each U/C leg that I'd drilled out with my pin vice. I did the weathering before buying a book called the complete fighting history of the spitfire. It became clear that a fighting spit looked even more weather beaten than this looking at the pics in this book!
Hope those that look-in like the model. I really enjoyed making it.
