I've had to scrap the idea of having the guns accessible, firstly the detail is awful and secondly the fit is just rubbish !!!!

Nice start. Always nice to see an engine. Which, by the way, you won't be seeing in my build !

Managed to get a very nice steel coat onto the whole of the model, I used steel as it scales up better than using a chrome. As I have used Mr Hobby Metal color, I'll buff some panels to give a worn and used look.

Looks good. I used polished aluminium on a 1:72 Mustang, rather than chrome, but even then that might still be a bit too shiny. Nice to see how well it buffs up.

well done adrian,you are wizzing along with this, did you manage to get those tiny clips to work in the wing flaps or did you not bother. i have spent the last hour trying to get one to fit in the rear wing flap and i am about to give up and just glue the whole thing together.

They fitted ok but are useless and don't work once in place, still debating gear up or down will dry fit and see what it looks like
