Thanks guys!

I'm about to attach the wings as we speak. I couldn't think of a good way to add the guns later in the build. I have some coffee stirrers that I may use to cover them.

Okay, silly question time: do you spray over the machine gun barrels and then paint them last? Or do you mask those as well?

I'll try and mask them. If not I'll repaint them later.

Big transformation when you add the wings and vertical tail surfaces on the Mitchell! Looks great!

Wow, you are moving along well on this. I would have broken off all the guns by now. Magnificent work man!

LOL! Yeah... I have the same kit sidelined right now for many years. The only guns installed so far, the tail guns, have broken off barrels...

It's still early. I'm sure not all the guns will survive.
