Latest project has been on the bench for a couple weeks now....slowly getting some work done, here and there.

Along with a host of a/m goodness!
Eduard PE Interior, exterior, bomb bay, 250lb bombs, and masks. Aires wheels, Squadron canopy, and a pair of Vector R-2800 engines.

For starters, I cut off the rudder, using regular sewing thread in a sawing motion(friction heats the plastic and the thread melts its way through).

and some interior shots...

Closed up...and as you can see, one of the bomb racks knocked loose...AGAIN. At this point, I am so ready to place this thing gently on the floor....and proceed to stomp the $#!+ out of it.

Glad to see you didn't stamp on it as that interior looks superb! What era markings are you going to build it in?

Does the string method work better than a saw blade?
