What's halfway between Manchester and Lancaster?

Leyland.
Preston and Chorley aren't too far off either 

Chorley you jest ...


I'll get me coat .....

This is getting more and more interesting by the minute..I do love hack and slash aircraft 

I admire people who have the ability to envisage it in their minds eye in the first place, let alone build the things 

There are mushrooms that helps ....

I understand certain types of alcohol can help as well ?

OK, back on track!

Fuselage is ready to be glued together.

Here are the update photo's showing the fuselage as it is now, putting it together will have to wait for tomorrow later today (after work);

Overview;

I had to scrape off the paint & some of the plastic to get the windows in the long sections to sit through the holes sufficiently to look almost right (I may still have to bulk them out with ClearFix once construction & painting are done).

Starboard & port forward interior sides;



Pilot's, Flight Engineer's & Navigator/Radio Operator's crew area;






The decal on the pilot's instrument panels slipped without me noticing but, even if I had, like all the others, it had been liberally soaked in MicroSol to get it to lay down over the moulded lumps & bumps on the panel (I should have sanded them off & affixed the decals to the flat surfaces).
So many little faults! Luckily they'll (mostly) be hidden inside the fuselage when I close her up.

Anyway, I'm off to bed, now.

Thanks for looking!

Terrific work on that cockpit there Wombey, most impressed.

This is great Guy..these pics gives me a clear picture when I play with that Lanc I scored a while ago 

[buzzbomb]

For what can be seen through the canopy, this is pretty spiffy

[Old Wombat]

Thank you, gentlemen!

The fuselage is glued &, currently, being held together with rubber bands & tape.

[Old Wombat]

Wings & tail planes glued on & drying.

Noticed that the starboard vertical tail isn't quite ... Vertical, that is. Will have to fix that.

May (also) have jumped the gun on this bit because I haven't, actually, done the re-scribing on the wing tips, yet, and I have to do some (relatively) minor PSR on the fuselage join.

Impressive work on the interior sir   

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, Chris!

As usual, all I see are the faults.

As usual, all I see are the faults.

I think that's what we all do with our own builds, or at the least see the bits we think we could have made a better job of.

[Old Wombat]

Yep.

Still, at least I'm genuinely surprised when things I've done are nominated for the Whiffies, & more-so if I "win".

[Wardukw]

You should remember mate we are all our own worst critics and all I do is pick at my builds ..im happy with my builds but rarely happy happy.

[Vulcan7]

wow very impressive detail        ( as I am from Manchester, keeping a close eye on this one  )
