HI GUYS THE BUILD is still ongoin as today i fitted in the radar but it was a job as it dint fit so plenty of sanding down as i wanted to make the nose cone open so the radar could be seen but no joy so had to glue the nose cone over it
AN TODAY i built the gatlin gun an treid to fit it in its bay but again no good as its too big an the hatch cover would not close down over it so i had to half it longwise to get it to fit i suppose Tamyia never thought someone would be crazy enough to fit on a hatch that opens an close 
AN THE gatlin gun is fitted in even though its only a half a one oh dear an i dont suppose tamyia thought anyone would be crazy enough to fit a hinge to the cover to see the gun in open an hatch closed postion

AN CLOSED AGAIN 
Good work Chris, that gun installation looks tricky
HI Joe yes it was bloomin TAMYIA dint make the gun barrel trough deep enough so that the gunbarrels would sit in so i treid to just firstly cut off just one barrel but no no good the barrels just sat to high to get the gun cover to close down over them so then treid to cut off two barrelles an still no good so in the end had to cut off the gun 3 barrells an then usein twezzers fit the gun in an yes it then was ok i suppoce TAMYIA THOUGHT if the moddler wants the gun seen then the moddeler would leave the gun cover an glue it in open position well that not how i do thing if its possible to do what ive done then i WILL like the lights AN thinking TAMYIA did a better job on my big F14 SUPER TOMCAT as at least
they made it so the gun with just 5 barrels fitted an i ground down the gun cover as it was fairly thick plastic but in the end it all fitted woundnt be too good on the real plane if it was like that would it
