Thanks Dave, Garry, James, Bob , Mike and S.Mike for the kind words.

I have since ordered more PSP . That piece looks good as a display but just not worth much for photography . :idonno .

Cheers, Christian B)

And now , some proper pictures ( ? )

The machine gun barrels were made fro brass tubing as well as the exhaust stacks.
Cowl flaps, courtesy of a Mountain Dew can...

The main gear struts were donated by the Monogram kit and were modified to look more like the real landing gear which neither kit did a good job of .
Additional parts were made to detail it . The wheels came from another resin kit
HVAR rockets came from the Monogram kit as well . No bombs worthy of mounting were found :idonno

Now this very old sailor can retire to be a test mule

Good looking build Chris!

Thanks Dave. Been dying to replace the Monogram kit for quite a while now .

I had a replacement Monogram and some resin parts ready and awaiting assembly.

Glad I found this Sword kit though . I think the shape is more accurate.

Thanks Bob. Interesting build . Seems like the manufacturer could have offered the FOD. covers since the intakes had no reld detail. :idonno

Shaping those things was quite fiddly . :S

Thanks for tagging along Alex . Believe it or not, the weathering was one of the easiest parts of this project.

That is, if you can handle the smell of paint :pinch:
