Walter It loks like you are one shipment ahead of me with your build. I am just waiting (hopefully today) for the tender sides shipment to arrive. Its a great build although i want to paint mine and am wondering how easy that will be now i have progressed so far. i know at the outset of the build there was mention of how to break the kit down into sub- assembles near completion so it can be painted. Hope you are enjoying your build as much as i am. Happy Modelling
BUILDING: Hachette Spitfire Mk 1A, Constructo Mayflower
SUBSCRIPTION COMPLETE (Awaiting building): USS Constitution, Sovereign of the Seas, 1:200 Bismarck (Hachette)

Thanks guys! @Phil I will leave her in bare brass. The U-96 is on a hold right now - as i mentioned i couldn`t build the last 6 months because of the lack of a working space. I´ll finish the D-51 and then decide, which of my projects i`ll continue next. There`s an unfinished Victory, the U-96, the Spitfire and also an AKAGI on the shelf - so enough work for the coming few years! Greetings,
Walter
