Looking forwards to this getting your usual masterful treatment Daniel. This was one of my first kits as I returned to modelling and I loved it. Have fun. 👍.

Hello Ben and Gary and a warm welcome to you Mates..
But a little patience is needed here because the ineterior (though not much will be séen in the end) is more than overdone by Trumpeter.
So it will take a while before progress will be seen her🙂

It doesn't matter how much time passes, Daniel. I'll be there to see the progress.
Following!

"Wow!!! And you will see nearly nothing in the end." So, why bother ? 😛
What camo? Checkerboards perhaps?

Also with the crazy PART set for the bomb bay? _THAT_ would be a "real Etching orgy" (borrowed from your intro text) 😉

Hi cuajete and Oleg!
Thanks mates, but you will really see nothing after all!
If you wonder about the red brown parts!
They used a red brown primer coat outside that soaked into the fabric skin !

Hi, Trumpeter did a good job with the montage of the wings and Ailerons👍
You can easily take them off for painting or transport and the fit is very good!

Hi lukasz!
The wing halves are of course glued sorry😉
Also i will glue the fuselage halves😉
But you can easily take off the main wings and ailerons😉

Loving the crew detail, especially the dynamic pose of the crew member moving between sections 👍

Hi Mates! Thanks and really happy you like the progress
Though the crew figures are a bizt oversized!
Had to do some surgery on the pilot to make hin fit into the Cockpit😁😉

Hi Daniel, I did wonder about the scaling of this Wimpy when I finished mine as it does not seem very big when sat alongside a 1:72 Spitfire for example. Having not seen two such aircraft side by side in real life I wasn't sure. So do we think the plane is undersized or the figures oversized, I'm just not sure? Genuine question? But should a 1:72 scaled anything, sat alongside a 1:72 scale something else, accurately reflect the proportions of their real-life counterparts?

God Point, but thePilot did not fit into the seat in any way.. Thats a fact🙂

Hi Mate, thanks and no most of the weathering and shading will be done after painting.
The special structure of the Wimpy u know?🙂

It will be a pleasure to see the results of a great master expert like you again 🙂 👍

Decals looks so good, Daniel. Did the decals adapt well to the skeletal cloth of the model?
11 December 2022, 17:51
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you very much mates for your warm and nice comments 👍
The decals are not that good and a lot of Gunzes Softener was needed.
But the biggest mistake as always had been made by the modeler. I confused the position for the exhausts with the ones for the Mk.I.
Trumpeter does not note that in their manual that you just have to change the cowlings with each other but a good look at reference pics would have helped.
So stupid but i will put the blame for this to my lack of experience with RAF planes. 🙂

Very nice build of that Wellington, Daniel. It's turn out impressive. 👍

Very butiful model and work
Now just get your bread knife out and cut it in half
So all can see all the fabulous detail

![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Wow! Thank you all so much gentlemen for your nice and warm words..
Very much appreciated..👍
@JV yap this is really a pity that you do not see anything once the halves are closed.
15 December 2022, 19:47
![](/profiles/img/108467-993-s.jpg)
Yes your right bit atleast we got to see it here before
You put it together but yes I think this one should be cut in half to see all the work inside
Fantastic work and a butiful model

Thanks again Mates for your really nice words..
But it is still not ready yet 🙂

Your results are better and better 👍
@David That looks like a cutting mat?
19 December 2022, 20:16
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thank you so much mates for your nce and warm words!
@David yes and a cutting mat, you are both right! I have to really work over my fotografic efforts.
@Frank Thank you so much mate, and i am relly proud you see progress in my projects..

Sweet build!
one impression....the wings look more weathered than the fuselage...a bit of a mismatch...
19 December 2022, 20:53
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Great result and fantastic dio, Daniel 👌
Congrats!
Also Bedford looks really good! It's the old Airfix's tool?
19 December 2022, 20:56
![](/profiles/img/13641-502-s.jpg)
Very nice finish mate! The rear fuselage is a bit too clean indeed, but I love the fabric shading on the wings, turned out great 👍
19 December 2022, 21:17
![](/profiles/img/38460-541-s.jpg)
Thanks mates, very much appreciate your kind words.....
And you really got a point there Lochsa and Lukasz.. I think i should add a bit of dust and rainmarks there too
But anyway there are a few things more that went wrong. As already mentioned i confused the positions of the exhaust with the Mk.IC
Hence the reargun on the backboard side went missing so i have to wait for replacement..
19 December 2022, 21:34
![](/profiles/img/42719-603-s.jpg)
Looks very good the way it is. The missing rear gun obviously is off for repair .............

Great finish here!
I really like how you present all these objects together.
The overall impression looks very harmonious!
Good choice of colors.
The colour scheme inside is also excellent.

What is truly stunning is the B&W shot, makes it look even more war-era.

![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
I totally agree with Andy 👍
...And I keep wondering if that Bedford is the old Airfix tool 😉
Great job again, Daniel! 👌

Thank you very much Simon, Andy, Cuajete and David 👍
Really glad you like the outcome and the presentation.!
@Cuajete it is a AEC Matador and yes it is from the old Airfix refuelling set in 1/76
4 January 2023, 21:29

Daniel,you could up the scale and do one in 48 and get the matching refueller from AA.

Album info
This will be a real Etching orgy.. Trumpeter already packed over 100 parts in the interior detailing and edard added 3 full sheets in their etching part set..
Wow!!! And you will see nearly nothing in the end.
