              Hello chaps, more progress to report :smiling4:

              Construction nearly completed and I have started priming.

              A couple of things I did during construction to enhance the build was firstly drill out the machine gun barrels.

              I also sanded away the backs of the shell ejector holes so they are open too.
              I think little details like this, while fiddly to do lift the build a bit so are worth the faff :tears-of-joy:

              I have primed some of the ancillary parts already and will prime the fuselage today hopefully.

              Once primed I can check to see whether any joins/seams need tidying up.

              Thanks for looking :thumb2:

              Geoff.

                Had a nice read up on this.......looks great. All the little things you do on a build add up and IMHO do "lift" the final result to the next level......definitely worth the faff. :thumb2:

                                Super work Geoff!!! I bet drilling the barrels was a test of nerves and patience in 1/72. Brave man you are and they do look good...

                                Prost
