Hasegawa B6N2 Bomber

I know this would fit into the Heavy hitters build but my computer is down for the count at the moment and posting from my phone is a pain. Any way this is one I'm working on at the moment. I'll do a better update once I get my computer issues sorted.
I found the tunnel blank didn't fit all that well so I thought I'd see how the parts for the open position fit, and to me the look better plus it is possible to see into the back a bit so I figured I'd play around and add a bit of clutter in the unlikely case somebody decided to poke around in there. I have an etch set on its way so just playing arond with what I can til it arrives.

Looks identical to my build of its younger brother right down to the tunnel fit. Off to check and see exactly what changed between the two...............................

Looking really nice so far, can't wait see some paint on the innards. You may want to change that 5 to a 6 in the designation though.

Oops, I've been enjoying this one so much and I downloaded a Kindle book about the Kate and Jill I'v been looking at picking up a B5N so I've got that one on the brain. Thanks for the pointer. Sorry about that Geo, it's the same kit

No problems. I got to learn about the differences, ie: tail design, different engine etc.

Nicely done so far!

I like that job in the engine. It is a very good start and it seems that it will be a very interesting project.
Congratulations nsmekanik

Thank you all for your support, I should be getting my computer back soon so updates shall resume shortly. Haven't done much on this one for a bit after a bit of an IP decal disaster, instead I took a break and finished off a shelf queen. I'll post up some pics of that soon, and then work will resume on this kit.

Time for a bit of an update I think, here I've taken the bit behind the pilots seat and opened it up, it wasn't a solid piece on the real thing and to me it looks a bit better. I also added a few stringers to it to break up the backside a bit although I'm not sure how much of that would be seen.

I've also been adding a bit of ribbing into the rear area where the lower machine gun mount is

Been making some progress, since I have the etch set I thought I'd give some of it a shot,

Ultimately I think much of it is a lot of work for little gain so I won't be using a lot of it. I did get a fair amount done in the interior and I am happy with how it's turning out so far

Got the clear coat on what's done
