Paul J Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Nice to see a 48th one on the go. Are you going to rearrange the passenger windows? They need to be more evenly spaced apart rather than how they are done on the kit. I did this mod in 1/72nd and it worked out well. Just a bit of planning on how to and some minor surgery.
