the Sharks are near the end.

Great film footage (and you can't go wrong with Benny Goodman, at least, not if you are my age). Today, as I work, WRTI in Philadelphia is doing their usual routine on American patriotic holiday weekends and playing lots of swing music and such numbers as "Victory at Sea"(the "Guadalcanal March" is playing as I type.

Back to business; I see no flash hiders on any of the Tomahawks.

I was finally able to cut some card so here are first two photos. Next step is to start on the inside of the cockpit.

Looks like the usual Krisp, Klean Krol Kraftsmanship.

Thanks Don. I just hope I will be able to maintain the "crisp and clean" where it really will matter - skins....

[GreMir]

I was able to hire some help to work with the fiddly bits
Hopefully, with proper supervision, work will proceed smoothly from now on.

oh you are just being silly now.

those guys are obviously Bomber mechanics.

[GreMir]

Now I know why they keep telling me that the fuselage must be much stronger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Don Boose]

I have long suspected that this was the reason your builds always look so good, Mike!

Your crew, bomber or fighter, are doing an excellent job.

Oh, this is one of the reasons I envy you your ability to build in 1/33. So many potential helpers, pilots & sundry personell around in that scale. Love it. Have fun all the way!

And congratulations on the POTW award!
