here is the trumpeter kit in progress.
added the wiring details in the cockpit, gear bay, and cannon bay.
I also used some wound guitar string for some plumbing details in the gear bay.
decided to open up the engine nacelles to display the engine detail. I made front engine mounts using
landing gear legs from the parts box.

That's looking great Gino - You've done some lovely work on the cockpit and U/C bays - the added detail really looks good!

Looks really good. Love that spaghetti behind the IP
One reason I stick with 1/32 is the detail work I can achieve. Plus I have the shelf space.

Only too true...
Removeable covers and engines? Sounds like some serious engineers work.
