Great work all . 
carts franky looks great m8
sheerluck that SE5 is a beauty, been thinking of making a ww1 bird but the rigging scares me off,
ytareh sweet looking P51, it does not matter how long it takes, its the enjoyment of making it & it looks great.
TT fantastic work ,great detail,the ciggy is a nice touch.
JG wow perfection m8, like the b&w shots
, when base & plane is all finished you seriously need to enter that into a competition, it will win hands down.
Romanator you was right about the decals , this is a journey of a 1000 miles but with one leg chopped off 
Tornado progress: ive been spending between 1 to 2 hours a night on the the decals & im still not finished yet but nearly there, 1st of all italeri thought it would have a laugh by printing most of the decal numbers on instructions wrong, so basically ive had to do it stripe by stripe to get it right, feels like im back in my skinning days lol,its like a big jigsaw but every things wet
ive been using photos of this bird to work off so ive tried my best to get it accurate as i can with what ive got to work with. i should hopefully have all decal work done by saturday & i will post a few pics.

Small update - I got the canopy parts on at last. I was trimming the rear fuselage windows, and one pinged off to nowhere, and I couldn't find it. I scrounged the carpet for an hour, with a bright light, to no avail.
So, I set about scratching one, and I was tinkering with the plane when I heard something rattling inside.
It was the piece!

So, now it's in place. The clear parts are thick, but very clear after some polishing and future. The cockpit is still easily visible.
EDIT - Aw crap, photobucket.... Will fix it later, got to run now.
EDIT II - fixed

Thanks Leit 
BTW, is it wrong that I love these old kits so much, even after all the struggle we went though? (Isn't there a psychological term for relationship in which one partner has a volatile personality, and the other tries to "fix" their problems?) 
PS - how's the Wellesley project?

I'm living in an empty house awaiting the sale. Haven't been able to do any modeling since March. Even my game computer is half a continent away sitting in a box. Sidelined and watching the game!
Yes, there is something crazy and very human-relationship-like about trying to make a clunker beautiful---I like "difficult" women so...!
Best of luck with the cute little Boomerang.
