Thanks guys. Guns are now done. The barrels have a nice sheen to them to the eye but it doesn't show in the pics.

 

[Airframes]

All is looking quite good there Andy

 

[Crimea_River]

Cheers guys. Resisting the urge to add the hydraulic lines in the wheel wells.....may be futile......

 

[vikingBerserker]

Well done!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

No other word for it Andy……..Awesome and those oleo legs………incredible.

 

[Ruud]

Just caught up with this one, it looks great!

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Paul. You caught up just in time cuz I'm calling this one done. Yes, I resisted adding the hydraulics in the wheel wells. Logic took over by noting that I didn't cut out and replace the molded-in main gear retraction jacks so why bother with some fiddley details?

Anyhow, I present to you the detail pics of my finished project. Thanks to everyone who followed and commented on the build and to those who contributed facts and photos to assist with an accurate portrayal of this aircraft.

Beauty!
Great job Andy, it really looks the biz. Drop those 'eye level' shots into a suitable background, and you've got the real thing!
Try it out using this - I can send it full size if you want it, plus other airfield backdrops.
