Very nice! I've always liked the Wellington.

Thanks Mike.

Love it Bish.
I thought that episode was on a Lank But what does this ole Yank know anyway?

Looking good, Martin! The Wellington is on my wish list as well.

You're right Martin....... I should've known.

But that makes it even better in terms of detail and overall build.

I had not heard of it until i read the kit instructions. I would guess being a Wimpy, he could at least grab hold of the framwork through the fabric covering.

Thanks BS. If you wnat a 72nd scale one, the Airfix looks very nice.

There was also a Sgt. Norman Jackson that did this On a Lancaster.

Here is Ward’s story...

Thanks for the links Lyle.

I got the Wimpy wrapped up today. I just had the last bits to add and attach it to the base with the figures and equipment. The figures are a CMK set designed to be used with a Wellington. The tower, truck and lader are all from the Airfix bomber re-supply set.













This was a nice build, especially for an MPM kit. I've had worse. The CMK engines were a bit tricky, mainly getting the exhaust ring on, bt it got there in the end.

I'm also glad to get an aircraft from Feltwell on my completed list. When i worked at RAF Lakenheath, we also worked on the base at Feltwell. Much of the old base is still there including the wartime hangers this aircraft would have used.

Bish, you do amazing work! Wow!!
