Thinking hard about the first one (79) just because I like the bomb. Anyone who would put that much work into art that will never be seen once used, well that one crazy son well you know.

Oh and I do have an Eduard Brassin engine, it's a kit unto itself. I haven't really decided on it as looking at the kit it's self, seems half the build is the engine. I don't know yet lets see.

At present, I have only been able to find one photo of the suggested bird. and to say a little worse for the ware. So where did they get the idea for the sharks teeth on the bomb I wonder?

Getting started the instructions call for holes to be drilled in the lower wing section. I have chosen to do it with the out board bomb rack instead of the wing tanks. so I drilled according to the B plan.

Next working out of order I started on the engine. The kit provides a pretty nice engine with out the Eduard selection, but after I got going I'm not so sure.

Two rows of cylinders with just the inner section as the back. I cleaned up and attempted to mate the first set (aft I think row) and it was so tight I broke one cylinder off.

so I glued it back on and sanded the inner section down and retried and re-sanded etc... got it to fit but my sanding was not uniform and it doesn't look so good. If I don't open up the engine no biggie as even in thei scale it won't be seen.
