Not a good idea since this is Mother's Day weekend. Unless you want to be in the doghouse.
Anyhow... she is done.
Decals are not the greatest and translucent - particularly the yellow checkered area. Fit wasn't too bad but did have minor flash. Canopy was a PITA to work with though. Nothing seem to fit correctly since it came in 6 pieces.
Weathering I used black and light grey chalk mixed in water and Dawn dish soap. Applied it last night and wiped some off but enough to leave some on for realism.
Since there was a lack of detail for wing mounted machine guns, I improvised using brass tubing for them.
Undersides...

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you Lyle, Carlos and Clint. I would build another Berlin Express only this time in 1/48 scale. I know Tamiya has a nice P-51B Mustang kit I’ve been eyeing on for some time now.

Well done, Tom. That kit is a long road uphill.

Yes it was a long uphill battle. I'm just happy to finally get her done.
