No interest in this one, eh boys? It's been a while but she's not forgotten. I took the trouble of giving her a salt weathering treatment and got absolutely no visible results! That knocked my enthusiasm back a bit.
On the flip side, I've begun to attach the smaller bits and pieces including the wing gun barrels and landing gear. I fashioned the inner door retraction struts from the leftover PE fret from the model. I think they were intended to help pose the engine cowlings open.
The small spring lever for the main landing gear was added last, after the main components were cured in place. The fit is very good and even features a very small locating hole in the gear well to help placement.
You can also see some of the post-shading that I've done on the bottom. My normal super-thin brown/black mixes sprayed along the panel lines and streaked randomly.
