Wow that is magnificent! I love it!

I'm especially impressed with the exhaust cones. I think I'll try that technique on one of my jets.

Ok, paint and decals are on, just have to do landing gear, ordinance, weathering and final coat.

I seriously screwed up the meatballs on the underside of the wing so I had to sand them off and repaint

I should be able to get these 2 done before the deadline, the P-40 might have to come later but we'll see!!

Thanks guys!

Still have a bit of work to do on this one but I should be able to finish before Tuesday!

Painted up the bombs (hand painted the colours on them)

attached the ordinance, 4-250 lb bombs and 2 torpedoes

sprayed a gloss coat and painted the wheels. The wheels were True Details resin and didn't exactly fit this Hasegawa Tomcat.

so I drilled them out and added some brass rod pieces

then drilled out the landing gear and cut off part

Wheels attached with CA glue

sittin' pretty waiting for the final steps!
