Great job so far splash, drilling the holes out makes a big difference look forward to more.

I have now added some very basic detail to the cockpit. I think it will look OK once the guns are added.

Yep that's much better, that gunners ring is a must I think.

Cheers

The cockpit is looking good. Jim's right about the gunners ring. I think it makes the interior.

Just a quick update I have added a bit more to the cockpit and closed the body up, photos to follow tonight.

Next stage more rubbing down and add the wings.

Regards

Very nice work.

Thanks for all the comments.

The wings are now on and the body rubbed down, just a few blemished to sort out before I add the nose and think about painting.

Looking great! The weathering in the cockpit really sets off the work you've done there.

Martin

And those drilled out flaps really look the part.

That is coming along nicely. I particularly like the idea of offsetting the ailerons, adds another dimension to it.
