Famous last words Brian

ENJOY this BLESSED DAY mate, you've EARNED IT

I am getting ready to go to work in this HEAVENLY MODELLING WEATHER

A perfect modelling day allowed me to finish the twin oblique firing cannon and i am quite pleased with them. i borrowed 3 extra magazines from the dragon kit which are extra. This guy just forgot one of the extra mags. I hope you like them. I still need to make the firing equipment.

:)Was expecting your post today Brian. Well done mate My modelling session just started now.

Good luck, mine just finished.

Perfect finish to a perfect day Brian welldone

Perfect detail brian as always.. if you show them to radu or quickboost etc..they make replica for sale for sure ....what do you think...

It is a great idea Marco but i would have to send them over and i cannot afford spending another two weeks to make another set or waiting till they make theirs. This thing is going slow enough as it is. i still need to make the firing equipment including the electrical and the compressed air before i can say that they are done. So there is still a way to go. I also need to make the framing behind the pilot's seat. We still have to discuss how i am going to fit these guns behind the pilot's seat. i think that they must have removed the radio operator's seat to fit these monsters.

I'm still searching , but till now nothing...

Excellent scratch building!!!

You're a master!

Thanks guys glad you like it. I must admit i am very satisfied with the result.

BRIAN MAKING RESIN COPIES OF THIS WORK IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT THE ONLY PROBLEM WOULD BE ETCHING SMALL PARTS SUCH AS HANDLES ETC. REST ASSURED YOUR WORK WOULD PUT TO SHAME SOME EXPENSIVE RESIN PARTS FROM CERTAIN SO CALLED PRIME MANUFECTURERES

Those cannons looks so realistic, can't wait to see them painted! So much more realistic than the Dragon ones.

Lovely Brian...love detail work myself....

Thanks guys, yesterday i managed to finish the rest of the set, i.e. the firing equipemnt including electrical adn compressed air tank and connections. I need to take some pics. Will do first chance i get.

Here is this weekend's work. Saturday was divine weather and i manged to put in quite some time there. Sunday so and so but i did manage some work too. Here is the cannon set now complete with the firing equipment.





Nest up is the roll bar just behind the pilot's seat. This structure was bolted to the cockpit floor and was supposed to bear the entire weight of the aircraft if this had to turn over, thus giving the crew a chance to get out.

Wow Brian, for an instant they look the are going to be fired for real...amazing work..

simply awesome brian again a pity dey have2 b painted over all dat detail

Scale Modelling at its BEST Brian

On the contrary to Nannu's views, I really can't wait to see some paint splashing as they would look even more REAL

Thanks guys, i do think they turned out nice. i am dying to start painting now. i have been building for ages without touching any paint.

The detail on these guns is simply amazing! Can't wait to see them painted.

Only after a certain Greek friend of mine who is building an out of this world Lancaster. How are you my friend?
