There’s some impressive engineering and materials technology going on there 👍

“Spinny thing make pressure” is all I know.

It’s coming along 👍😊. Interesting exhaust and turbo arrangement.

An Italeri shit-kit? Of course it’s accurate.

Are they free for a quick job on a Sunderland?

I’m off off a walk in the beautiful sunshine… before the rain starts again 🙄

Thanks 👍

Thanks Paul 👍

Cheers Jim.

Cheers Rich. I blinged it up a bit in the hope that it will be easier to see when everything is assembled.

Cockpits painted and tacked together to see how they look.

I like that it goes just where you want it to with little over-spread.

Nice looking truck. I got myself some of that dissolved putty. Very good stuff 👍

Creative solutions 👍😊

That’s the underside painted. I’ve cut some masks for the wavy boundary between the upper and lower camo on the sides. A lot of masking to do tomorrow.

Engine nacelles masked. Fiddly and time consuming but very satisfying. The biggest problem is not breaking off the sticky-out bits - I’ve already broken the front turret gun off 🙄

A large, derelict French hospital complex bathed in sunset light, featuring a central ornate building and overgrown courtyard.

An abandoned corridor with peeling blue paint and arched windows

An abandoned French seminary chapel features rows of wooden chairs, ornate stained-glass windows, and a tiled aisle leading to a distant red altar.

An abandoned French theatre auditorium with rows of red chairs. Red curtains frame the stage, leading to a long room with a mural at the back.

A huge abandoned hospital plaza, somewhere in France

This four-storey complex was built in the 1820s as a seminary. It later served as a convalescent home for 8,000 Belgian soldiers in WWI and a civilian shelter during WWII.

Wet reflections at Arnos Grove London Underground station. My puddle obsession continues, I'm certainly in the right country for it!

Sorry, I forgot 🙄

Finally got some momentum going 👍

Hypnotic photo of a curtain aurora that truly looks like a flying dragon.The image is extraordinary: an enormous serpentine green shape twisting through the night sky above a snow-covered landscape, with tiny human silhouettes that emphasize the epic scale.

I picked up one of the new-tool Airfix Fw190 kits – an aircraft I’ve never built – late last year, and after reading about it in an old Squadron in action book decided I’d knock it out, since I really enjoy Luftwaffe fighter camouflage. putteringinthestudy.com/2026/02/23/f... #HistScaleModels
