Hi John lovely build so much detail in this one. Is there any chance you could build the Lancaster bomber one day that was my very first model I ever made 60 years ago time flys any way John take care 🙂

[@JohnsModelmaking]

Thanks Rod. How about a wooden Lancaster Bomber?

[@rodadams8422]

Nice little video John, how did you find the new mouldings, were they as clean as expected?, certainly looks fine in detail, I think my first Airfix plane was a Wellington Bomber, plus I built 109's and Spitfires,that was the original Airfix in white boxes, I always loved Airfix especially for warships.
And it makes a nice change John to watch these models getting made.
Cheers.

Hi Phillip. The mouldings are good up to now I haven't seen anything of concern. I do like Airfix very much. This Italeri was a present and hopefully it will turn out to be a good build. Thanks for your support Phillip.

The Stirling is a nice present John, I got a HobbyBoss 1/72 scale Dora Railway Gun for my special birthday last year, and I have not even started it yet lol 😂 It's big 😱 Take care John.

@@philliposborn808 I had to google that gun and like you said it is big also looks very interesting and detailed. Excellent pressie!

[@philliposborn808]

Thank you John, yes the history of these rail guns is rather strange, I don't think they were hardly used in anger, and Dora and Gustav were both either destroyed or dismantled by the allies.
