It has the look of authenticity. It should be amazing when finished.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

As already said, looking so smart.

Good work so far Glenn!

I glued on the fuel tank, rocket racks and new exhaust stubs, then set it on its wheels only to find out a few hours later that 24 hour was not enough to wait for the glue to set and they both had bent forward 30 degrees. I tried to bend them back but they both snapped off.
These pictures were taken after I had drilled out and installed brass wire pins to re-attach them. All that's left now is to put the props on.

Gotta hate that but nice save

That was a bit of a setback Glenn but nice recovery. As said before, great and effective build.

A new favourite of your builds Glenn.

 

[T Bolt]

I know I said it was done but did a bit more.
The kit did not have decals for the red stripping on the flaps, so I masked and painted them on. Also add some light exhaust staining.
Now it's done.

Nice finishing touches.
