condor1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I don't think there is anything to say about this kit, the quality and detail and well know. There were no surprises, the assembly was "a walk in the park", and yes the attach points for the wheels are weak to say the least, and yes the turret fits without much trouble. I did use stainless steel tubing for the exhaust pipes and brass for the flares chutes, guns muzzles received tiny bity pieces of hypodermic needle and the seat belts fashioned of masking tape with regular results. Also I cut off the cowl flaps and made them out of aluminum sheet. The only major upgrade was to drop the flaps, I noticed that the inner face of the lower half of the wings have the flaps ribbing and detail molded on, the upper face of the wings half in blank, I cut the flaps and made the upper part ribbing and detail out of plastruc. I also found by pure chance a resin torpedo on the local modelling store so I snatched it right away and mounted over the wood cradle that you will see on the images. Was finished with Model Master enamels and varnishes, the weathering was done with pastels and Tamiya powders. So, here it is, thanks a lot for stopping by and looking, as usual, critique, and advice and more than welcome. Cheers. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condor1 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Many thanks guys, glad that you approved. I forgot to mention that the engine received some improvement too, I added the spark plugs wires made out copper wire and I did the push rods tubes out of plastic rod, glad that 85th caught it. Again thanks a bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
