A 109 and 190 are on my todo list but I don't know when I'll get around to them, Nick. The FW 190 is my favourite German aircraft from WWII so will definately get done at some time. There are some very nice kits on the papershipwright site. The thing I like about paper models is that in comparison to plastic or wooden kits is they're dirt cheap for just as good models.
Napoleon, I'm Army green through n through, man..... and don't you foget it! ;D

Where did you get the Ju88 from? a He111 would be very nice, a Vulcan would be even better!

My ol man goes on about the Beverly alot. As an ex Para from the 60's, he made quite a few jumps from those.
That's the thing I enjoyed most about working at Cosford, the opportunity to go inside the aircraft and take a look around. I've been in the B-24 and a few others, including the spitfire. I'm only a small guy but the fit in a spitfire cockpit is tight even for me. Cosford has a Stirling, too but I never got the chance to go inside.

I've tried three types of glue on these models. UHU clear paper glue which comes in a kind of pen/crayon, UHU white paper glue and indoor/outdoor wood glue. The clear stuff is no good but the wood glue and the white paper glue both work just fine. Oh and I use superglue for parts under a little stress such as the landing gear and wheel connection points and also for connecting control cables and antenna lines.
Good luck with the Cerberus. I'm thinking you'll find it a pleasant but rewarding challenge, matey.

White wood glue works fine - use it sparingly to avoid wrinkling the paper.
