This is a itty-Bitty plane .... it needs something ...I drilled the gun ports ..makes it look so much better .... I guess this is a hang over from all my Games-Workshop figures .... that had to have the guns drilled so they looked right .... anyway snowing here ... I must be off to see the Wizard .... :soldier :pilot ...... Ok I won't scribe the panel lines ..... :good:
