Looking good so far. The bomb rack was a nice touch. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Ok. Pressure is on. :ha: I work best under Blitzbau conditions. Or so I'm told. My name isJeff and I have a procrastination problem.

Here is the crate all decaled up. Normally I have no issues with Hasegawa decals but these have a little silvering to contend with. I also have a port uppper roundel that was slightly out of register. An easy fix later on.

So state of play on the final day :roll: :

Patch a little silvering. Future over top of everything. Dull coat and mount my pre-finished clear parts.

More pics in the gallery.

A little disappointed with the silvering on the the wing walks but overall, I can live with it.

Jeff, its great to see that you got her done on time. Would you care to share how you put that base together? Please don't take this the wrong way but... the model looks fantastic but the base makes it soo much better. I'm thinking of adding a base of some kind to my finished kits.

A great model Jeff, and very well set off by the display base.

Cheers
