Really, really nice Ian  :thumbsup:

Thanks folks, you're w-a-a-a-y too kind, it really isn't too good in the flesh.

I will complete a build for the 1941 theme at this years Telford, I promise... which reminds me, was anybody else doing a USN neutrality patrol Wellington in 1:48 ??  - No... just me then :blink:

Comments:-   

1   We are NOT  being kind, we are being accurate:we appreciate class when we see it! The pix are superb.

2  I'm much looking forward to a USN Wellington.   Is this one of  the  batch of 50 that was sold to the USN in 1938 and informally known within Vickers works as the  Vickers Vermont?   As I understand it, there was a row between the U S Army and the U S Navy over  who should fly "heavies" and the USN  bought from Canadian Vickers  in a fit of pique!   One of them  that survived the war was preserved as "Superlimey"   with nose art of a lime-green-tinted superhero wearing Union Jack underpants outside his trousers.

Missed this one somehow mate, despite what you say, excellent finish! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

 ;D nice one Ian, I know what you mean about lossing interest in modelling for a while, I've been pretty much the same this last year or so, although much of it is also not having much spare time. Have been trying to kick start one of a few stalled projects so might be digging out a half done Anigrand A-12 sometime soon...

Ian,
Are your other RW builds also over on Britmodeller?  I would like to see them. 

Watching your builds (and JHM, and Alvis, and Radish, et al), no matter what, always inspires me to get back to the bench.  And I need any push I can get these days.

Its excellent build outs like this that inspires me. It lets me imagine a world where the F-107 stood ready to intercept incoming squadrons of the Soviet bombers, the MBT-70 was fielded to hold off the hordes of T-62s, the AH-56 overcame its flight envelope issues to become a viable weapon system, and the XB-35/47 is still in flight today instead of the B-52.
