Great work on the old girl  

Give us some tips  on the map process please, when I last tried it I lost all the detail in the final print 

[deafpanzer]

Bombs look AWESOME! Very nice touch adding map inside the cockpit... clever!

[wbill76]

Love the map addition! The bomb bay is also interesting, didn't realize it was laid out that way on the Stirling in terms of the 3 bays on either side of the fuselage.

[DeafStuG]

Stevem & Dogfish7 - Thanks !  P.S. Give you some tips on the map process by later. 

Andy - Thanks Bro thumb up !

Wbill76 - Thanks !  Yes, very interesting stirling bomb bay on fuselage and wings so very different.

Hello Jeremy,
An outstanding finish! A fine example that, just because a kit is old doesn't mean you can't make it shine.

Dave

[fightnjoe]

Hello Dave, thanks. I like build classic, standard and luxury Kit. ;-)

Joe - Thanks

Fantastic work Jeremy! I am always impressed by anyone who can pull off a decent brush painting. I am rubbish at it. That's why I use an airbrush!!

Great work mate, she looks lovely!

Cheers,
