I started lots of kits during last two years and some i totally forget to put in wip
Heres a single thread for some of them that have similar specifics
Withouth post all sprues here i add the gallery link for each subject
in order of start
Loocked Hudson Italeri, but MPM sprues inside

And the last, started fwe days ago
Dornier Do-17Z airfix new tool

All the four kits have a good or excellent level of details, so they will basically OOB
First the Hudson works:
Inner subassemblies, heres only added rudder pedals and engines throttles with stretched sprue
Wings tail pieces
greened the clear parts , probably wrong green (acrilics.. all things goes better if i used my usual 78 humbrol interior green )
Inner fuselage pieces painted
Belts added with masking tape strips
Windows on (this plane is not compatible with linux )
The various subassemblies in place
Color retouch to the floor
Not so easy to put on all pieces, it's a mpm not an hasegawa
Fuselage glued , notice the white piece on the tail, he keep the right distance in the place to avoid gaps with the horizontal rudders
Tail and turret cover on
Wings in place. At this point i modified lots of times the wings angle and removed the kit spar that was more a problem than an help for the correct alignment of wings
After long sessions of putty, sanding and rescribe of panel lines and actually in the humbrol paint section
Blenheim for second
I lost some wip picture, for a while i build the blenheim with same session of the hudson
Some subassemblies and putty where needed
Same inner paint used for the hudson
The cockpit in place
Fuselage and wings goes good between them
I tried to not follow instructions and glued the nose to the fuselage before fuselage and wings assembly as instructions said but no good idea was
At the end all goes toghether in some way (with a little help of stanley heavy cutter )
In the humbrol sector i decided to remove inner color from flaps housing and a first layer of sky humbrol 23 was done
That's all for now, at the next

Re: Four WWII twin engines in 1/72
The Blenheim is going together quickly! I’m really liking that so far. Is that on of Airfix’s new tool kits?

Re: Four WWII twin engines in 1/72
Thanks
Heres the third:
Pe-2 from UM model.
Nacelles, the kit have two types
on the wings , the kit seems to be a short run , some more attention is needed. I fill with plasticard some missing plastic at the end of right wing
Lots of possibles opened doors in the fuselage
Fuselaged almost ready for paint
Pilot seat and bomb bay
The tail wheel complex was a pain of pieces but goes on . Alamost ready for paint.
After i glued more but no pictures i take. Actually ready for inner painting
The the last, the new tool Do-17Z, after the petlyakov this kit have the seciond high number of pieces (the petlyakov also have lots of option parts)
Subassemblies and cleanig pin marks before paint
Primed with rlm 02 , not a commercial color
After a satin coat and washing, painted almost all inner details
That's all for now
At the next!

Between Fermis’ six Zerstorers and your four twins here, I am feeling like a true underachiever/slacker here...
