Bailey's back at the bench!

[The Rat]

Haven't been here or at the bench much this year, we had some major renovations done in the spring and my hobby room was used for a lot of storage, still getting stuff out. Okay, so there's a lot of original clutter, but it's MY clutter! Anyhoooo...

Grabbed one I started to work on a long time ago, an MPC/Airfix Harvard, which is being turned into a dive-bomber. It came with Armée de l'air decals, so in my universe they took possession of some pre-war and hastily converted a few. Flaps are already cut out and (poorly) drilled with (mis-aligned) holes. I was going to go with a centreline bomb like the Dauntless, in fact I have Airfix Dauntless parts for it. But with the wheels being closer together when folded, and the centre-fuselage wing chord being narrower, it's either a case of the bomb-flinger-thingy getting in the way of the landing gear retraction or the tail of the bomb getting in the way of the centre dive flaps, so I will have two bombs mounted on the wings. Because it's MY model. And "bomb-flinger-thingy" is now an official term.

No pictures yet, but shouldn't be long.

Sounds interesting

Yeah it does!! 

Glad to hear about the return to building and the decompressing of the hobby space.

I like your style!
