Good one Karl. I've been tempted by that kit on several occasions.

 

[vikingBerserker]

cheers guys.

this kit is very basic so things will progress quit quickly, got the cockpit painted RLM 02 along with the insides of the wheel bays and fuselage interior.
also put the two halves of the wheel bays together and attached them to the lower wings and painted the engines and put them in the cowlings.
will put some pics up a bit later between shifts at work.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Noice!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Look forward to them.

 

[A4K]

Me too!

ok as mentioned the kit is very basic especially the cockpit but that will not matter as once the heavilly armoured hood goes on the cramped cockpit you will see bugger all any way !!!

Good start Karl. Been looking at that PAK 40 I've go for you - very nicely moulded and should look the biz when fitted.
