A bit of a start on this. Thrown a little bit of wire at the donk.
Will spray a little primer and try to make this a passable engine.

The gun port's were very ordinary so I stuck some tube in em. Yes I did push them back into the fairings as to not stick out.
Sprayed some primer about and ya don't want to see pics of that.
I have decided to build this with a full weapon load as the pics I have found seem to show that they went from the hill fully loaded.
Is this correct ?

What does Fully Loaded mean, bombs and rockets? Great progress

Sorry guy's that's what I intended to mean, rockets and the tank.
I'am assuming that they only used the one drop tank for the Tokyo raid.
