Thanks for the comments, guys. I am also quite satisfied with my build.

Richard, awesome looking blenheim tank I hope they welded that turret hatch shut, so it does not open during flight.

Looking forward to see more

...and I'm back in it!
Here I've finished the dreaded pinstripe and on to more interesting decals from the stash. (In this case, it's fun not to have a prototype.) No stencils-- the flight crew will have to rely on experience to know what to do where, ha ha!

Finishing before tomorrow SHOULDN'T be a problem.
cheers!

Nice paint job on the 'bus' especially the pin stripe. It will be good to see the finished product.

Here is my Winston Churchill build:



ME-262 radar installed in extended cockpit, rockets from a P-51 and a fixed forward test turret from the churchill factory!
Churchill was born at Blenheim palace and had a tank named after him so blending the two together will make for one tough night fighter!

Great build, Richard. One hit from one of these and any bomber would fall from the skies.

Very original idea.

Heehaw! A truely unique model!

looks like a fun ride. I guess that could be considered a COD type, like the "Turkey" version of the Avenger. I imagine is there is still an F4U in there, a post war COD version might be designated F4U-6R.

With that I'll call this campaign done, and give out the ribbons.
thanks guys, for playing!
