OK me mates, I think with these last few add-ons, this one should be done barring a last lookover. I'll post finished pics in the next few days if I didn't forget anything.
AN-104-A antenna mast glued back on to suit the radio set I put in. I think the base of this things was wood so might paint it dark brown.:
Brake lines added to the main gear using lead wire:
Ladder installed and painted:
And finally, the emergency pull handle and latches were added and the frame surfaces painted interior green. The handle is 0.2mm lead wire painted red.
Thanks for all the looks and likes. I'll be back with a wrap up later.

I have just completed a bit of cleanup and posted the finished pics. The black gun fairings were touched up a tad as was the bit of paint that pulled away with the port boom "H5" mask. Here are a few final shots.
Thanks to all who followed along or dropped the odd "like" or two!
Here she is next to my Academy P-38F (converted from an "E") completed last year. The Tamiya was MUCH better and way more fun to build.
Thanks again and see you on the next one.
