Good work, Matey - when you get further-on and decide whether you're doing an Air Force or Navy machine, give a care to your loadout... Years back on another (quite intense) modelling website I respectfully advised the builder of a quite superb (Navy) A-1 that he'd may like to remove the Air Force bomblet dispensers for the sake of accuracy...
...That didn't go-down too well, and I've never posted their since !!

No worries there Ian it's a Navy machine with no Army load outs in the kit.
last look before it gets swallowed up
unfortunately two decals got ripped off with blu tac balls when i tried to keep the dials shiny after the future treatment, so just flatcoated the lot
Now I know why one of the nic-names was the flying dump truck! This is a big kit!
Silver base on, a few bits to do then onto the main paint scheme.

It is a large airplane and most missions were about bringing stuff and dropping it off 
Noticed the pilot is wearing his side arm . Good detail from the kit maker .

Sure the Navy has/had Napalm weapons. It was used from Carriers against Tinian and Iwo Jima. Napalm was not used as a weapon from fuel tanks, no way to install a fuse unless it's jerryrigged, and that's not something you want to jerryrig. The current weapon is the Mk77 but I don't think that is what was used when I was a loader. Maybe Barney can shake out the cobwebs and reember what the canister was that delivered Napalm (technically it was not napalm in Vietnam but another brand, effects were pretty much the same)
So it's got a really good load out option, everything but the toilet huh?
