Nicely done! If it's lost, broken or doesn't exist, make it!

Yup. Nothing wrong with that!

Nice bit if scratch-building there Andy. I have 2 of these kits in my stash, a -1 and a -3 so I'll be watching how it all comes together.

Agree with all. Nice job on Pt.B48.

Thanks, guys. Here are some pics of my latest progress. As always, the close up shots show me things I never knew were there - even with the magnifying glasses that I wear while building. Some of the painting glitches I will go back and fix tomorrow.

Here is my scratchbuilt ammo box installed.

The interior has quite a few detail parts, and the end result is nice looking. I did a slight wash on the floor.

The instrument panel decal in the kit was just a bunch of black circles, so I didn't bother with it. I just painted everything flat black, then highlighted gauge detail with white and dropped future into the gauges to simulate lenses.

As always, thanks for looking!
Andy
