Looking good so far Mag. If you can, see if you can do a bit of dry-brushing over the raised detail on the instrument panel; you'll be amazed at the difference.

I did, camera must have had a bad angle.. I also did the gloss varnish brush drop to simulate glass.. If I used my moms real nice camera it might have caught it.

Maglar, I have this kit. A friend tried to build it with his son and the plastic got in the way of the glue! If you need parts or things, I can send. Some pieces are extremely glued up but alot of stuff still on the sprues and the canopies haven't been touched. So just hollor!

Maglar · 05-14-2009, 04:08 PM

Will do Chris, Thanks for the option! Catch said there are some issues with the rear glass so if I mess pu I will for sure holla!

Maglar · 05-16-2009, 09:59 PM

Ok, finished the interior and everything is ready for the fuselage to come together. I will still have to add the top turret but that will be easy, I already dry fitted the two pieces and the putty is coming out!!

I like the 4 guns the most, and the ammo feed!

Looking great so far Mag...

That is really coming along Maglar if the exterior comes along as well as the interior you are going to be in good shape Sir.Cheers Kevin

Maglar · 05-16-2009, 10:16 PM

Thanks guys, the exterior will be a load, I can feel it.. still on the debate of glossy or matte, instructions say glossy yet box pictures show matte..
