No.  He is classified as among the vanquished... ;D

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I suggest the Bristol Brexit. They didn't think it would float, but it slipped its moorings and drifted off into oblivion...

This funny delirium about names (of Beaufighter dérivatives) made me dream of a Beaufighboom... see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20326.2805.html

Build update: been away from the model for a few days and won't get to do anything to it until after Wednesday, on the plus side, the putty will be extra set   ;D

Is that Tamiya Polyester Putty?
That gets nice and hard if you leave it long enough.  Got an angle grinder? ;D

Nope, I'm using miliput  <_< it does the job, can sculpt it nicely too, on the packet it says it's good to sand after a few hours, but in my experience it usually takes a few days in the sun before it doesn't gunk up my sand paper  :banghead:
