Picture 1) Finished up most of the remaining small bits with some minor modifications. The tires were not molded great and had no tread so after extensive clean up with a file I added checkered tread with a hobby knife. Also the prop spinner did not have the hole in the tip so I drilled it out. and also addsd some rivet detail at the joint.

Picture 2) The landing gear glued on. I think this is the weak point of the kit. There's no positive socket for then, just a very shallow hole and they can be glued on at just about any angle. It took me over 30 minutes of fiddling with them before I could get then to stay where I wanted them.

Glenn, love the NMF! Are you sure the gears are on the correct side though? Excellent build!

Nope! I'm an idiot. You got the gears absolutely correct. Looked weird at first.
