Something different
for me. Its not grey, or a phantom. This is a commission build I did for someone
and just finished. Its the 1/48 Trumpeter Wellington. I found it a mostly
wonderful kit. Apart from the drop turret everything went together very well.
Interior detail appears very nice. I have no idea if its correct compared to the
real thing, however for this OOB build the interior is quite suitably busy.

A few interior shots
and the engine. Once the cowls are on you can see next to nothing of the great
OBOE detail Trumpeter gives us. I found I needed very little putty, you just
have to be VERY careful lining up the two fuselage halves and all the ribbing on
the inside.
I have heard of people destroying their models as
unbuildable, I
guess I was lucky. Especially since I do most of my building at 2 or 3 in the
morning.

Even SWMBO doesn't mind this
model. "At least it's not grey" was her comment. Think that's as good
as I'm going to get out of her. (Models are "NOT" her bag, baby).
