ED, I think that your kit may actually be the first kit I have seen to get the bombs right in that case! Looking forward to more pics soon, cheers, Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to more pics soon, cheers, Pappy if you say so.... never would have known!! maybe I'd cursed the BRU .... luckily the Eduard resin bombs were dismountable with brute force all in + now ... nozzles glued on, I do not think atermarket ones are any better than my rework... hope somebody hears this! on her own feet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) 12 bombs mounted on the BRU-3s... they are quite symmetrical I think... Edited November 12, 2017 by exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Nice. Tried to do a 1/48 re-pop of this kit in these colours but with my own homemade decals. Ended up cracking the cockpit glass. Currently pondering using my crash moulded replacement canopy to make At least one side open, and repaint into sea camo. Yours is looking good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go though the GB builds, the newer HobbyBoss kit does not live up to its price and superficail detail unfortunately! cockpit base color seats improved with Eduard steel belts Great build. Are these the belts that eduard recommend for hobbyboss kit? As I notice they no longer make them for Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the transparencies are quite big, you will still see them nicely even ehen closing the canopy. Edited November 19, 2017 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
