while waiting for parts to arrive from various around the world I decided to attempt to make the ejector pin marks disappear in the wheel wells . Seems like they could have reversed this mold and placed the ejectors on the other side.
Very difficult to do. I'm not thrilled with the results but it's all the effort I'm putting into this.
More latter .
Meanwhile the 40 MM gun pods have arrived. I could not find a better source than the old Monogram Hurri, so bear with me.
Needless to say the barrels are not great. ( neither is my picture ) Sorry...
I set out to cut and drill the parts I could not fix.
After drilling the flash suppressors till they fell off I installed them on brass tubing which made them appear round.
Next , drill out the large part of the cannon and insert the brass tube .
And then some paint and graphite . Both guns are modified and one has been finished.
More parts came in , but of course not the one that are needed the most. It's on the junk from Honk
Kong. It'll be here as soon as I clear the bench Of course.
The tropical air filter and the beautifully cast exhaust from Ultracast.
Cheers, Christian B) Mo to come...

Chris have you ever tried punching out disk to fill in the ejector marks?

I can't say as I have. Interesting idea if you can get to it to sand it . In this case , there is no room to work .
In order to not remove other detail while sanding I had to make a sanding stick the width of the ejector hole and it had to be held at an angle of about 15 degrees.
I see why there is a need for the after market wheel well....another $ 10 plush shipping ! :vmad

Well MP, this one's just for your eyes. As much as I bad mouth Eduards PE this is evidence that their pieces can be soldered together (crooked as they may be ) .
While still waiting on the Chinese junk to bring my parts I played with the radiator. A bit of piano wire for the front brace.
After looking in the exit I decided that it needed the obvious braces and the mechanism to work the radiator exhaust door.
and then ! dry brushed a bit of color in the wheel wells .
Well, I'm afraid that's all for today.
