OK, been busy today, tryin to get things done.....

First was the landing gear doors, the Trumpter kit shapes are incorrect....

 

[lesofprimus]

Next was the exhaust area, which was way too large....

 

[lesofprimus]

Gunbay was next, tryin to get it to the point of closing it up.... Also scratch built the ammo feed throughs with some metal sheet that Terry sent along with the plastic sheet.....

Im pretty happy with the way it came out, especially after I weathered it up... Couple small tweaks left to it... Also got the landing gear bay filthed up some...

 

[lesofprimus]

Also got some white on the bottom pieces, 2 coats, gonna need another and some touch up....
