DAZZ BOOT!

If it goes on or under the wet stuff and doesn't fly, it's in here.

That looks really good. Great detailing. Now when are you going to put it in the bath with you? :)

Wow, can't believe I missed this!
Looks fantastic Darryl. Great build and fun reading. I really like how you did the flag. ;-)
I do like Revell kits. Except for one thing. Their idiotic mix 9% of this + 91% of that paint instructions.

Lovely build!

It's a lot easier if you realise that that means "1 part this to 10 parts that". Dunno why they have to put it in percentages -- maybe it's an EU directive or something equally crazy. :roll: :ha: :mrgreen:

This looks really good. I got one from Peter Hall and have the plan to build it into a diorama with a 1'144th Liberator. I love the Coastal Command scheme for these aircraft and have odd photos of U-boats and Liberators. I'd better look for some little people to add to the conning tower.
So many models, so little time.

Look for N gauge railway figures. 1//146th scale (odd isn't it!) but there are loads of them about so there are bound to be some that can be easily adapted with a lick of paint.

Very nice! I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider flying low and slow anywhere near that conning tower.

The problem with number like 9% and 91% is that I have to put 9 spoonfuls of the one color and 91 of the other to be sure they are correct and then I have about a pint of paint :???:

Unless you use a serving spoon, then you get a gallon.

On the bright side it will be a gallon of the correct colour :ha:
