Thanks Mike. I've had a really busy weekend (it was my son's 12th birthday) so not made much more progress - I'm still sorting the seams out.

I've been making some slow progress on these two builds, a lot of real life stuff and the obvious Monogram builds getting in the way!

All of the seams are done and I have the canopies on.

I'd like to get some paint on these soon - the D will most likely be an RAF bird and the B will be a NMF one from the Pacific.

Cheers... now where's that P-40...

Those are looking top notch, Stuart!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Just a quick job - it took about an hour.

Nice Stuart. You have to be happy with that canopy - really glistens.
Thanks,
John
