Ok so moving onward, one of the REALLY nice things about this kit is that Tamiya has per set the weight for you. One in the nose and one in each engine compartment.
Look now because it'll be gone before you know it….
I've gone to using metal gun barrels and probes if I can find them.
The kit barrels I clip off and just use the backing and than super glue the replacements in their place.
Than glue the nose on…
That's all for now guys, thanks for your inputs.

Main gear wells being worked on. Everything was painted aluminum and than Tamiya black highlight over everything and than let partly dry. I used a cotton swap (well many) to dry buff it off, where it was still too heavy I used a little paint thinner.
