| I have been in the hills building a bridge. I see a lot of progress has taken place. What's wrong with the work force? |

| I'd like to follow your build too Brian. Following someone elses build has at least some of the excitement of doing your own! |

| It's a product called Chartpak graphic tape and this is 1/64" width. You can find them on the web and there are several dealers for it. |

| How do you make the black lines?

| Not to me. I love to see everyone's work. In fact I would say we all do so post away. |

| Oops, I meant to say, "almost threw this one in the trash". Anyhoo, the wings are coming along nicely. I'd post pics, but they'd be rather anticlimactic with when compared to the pics Mr. Duckett is posting of his current masterpiece-in-progress. |

| Thank you David. It really seemed strange installing ribs F-4 through F-9 while the inboard portion of the leading edge was blocked up, but the trailing edge and MA (aileron parts) were pinned flat to the board, but I see what you mean that it somehow works. I can see how another builder mentioned that they almost found this one really challenging. Thanks again!! |

| The ribs are all glued to the leading edge first but the spars are NOT glued together yet. The trailing edge must be cut where shown. Lift the wing and add the different size blocks while keeping the root rib pinned down. The outer panel will lay down naturally. Then glue all the spars together where they meet. NOTE The blocks used to set the anhedral are different than those used to first build the wing. It might look odd but it works. |

For Brian |

| Looks great as always, David. I've lurked on this site for some time and am currently building this same model, but am now motivated to come out of the shadows to ask a question of the master. How did you get the correct "anhedral" on the wings? The plans make it look like you keep the leading edge blocked up, but the trailing edge pinned down when adding the ribs (outboard of the nacelles). This doesn't seem to make sense as it would seem to add an unwanted twist. Did you separate this section from inboard portion and pin it down front and rear when adding the ribs? |

| Does anyone remember the TV show "Land of the Giants"?
Nice shade of green, really accentuates the de-icing strips and anti-glare panels. When the Brit's asked for the B-25 through the "Lend-Lease" program, I wonder if they ever honored the lease portion. |

| Hey, great choice of colour scheme! Looks really sharp. |

The Lieutenants are reminded that blending in is not a half ass concept! |

The British version. The registration is fake, but valid for outside right now. |

Masking the rear anti glare panel |

Using a pattern & pencil to outline, then mask and paint the de-icing strip |

| Giving all your secrets away as to how you show so little seams, etc....
Always wondered how you accomplished it, and never once even thought about doing this way.
I will remember this tip............
