This one is at a standstill for now. Still looking for better parts and need to get AM tires.

Screw it, Not gonna look for spares. Anyhow... the office is painted and glued to right half of fuselage. You might notice some interior green on floor of cockpit. I'm going leave it at that since some have chromate painted on the floors. Used AK Interactive paneliner to beat it up slightly.

I have some updates but no pics due to my camera lost power and had to be reharged. So far...

Fuselage closed up, cowlng cover on, & tail wings on. Tomorrow (if I have no effects from second dose of COVID vaccine), main wings will be on and other exterior bits.

Since this kit didn’t come with MGs to install inside the wings... :headbang: :bored: and decided not to buy AM metal set, I decided to make my own using brass tubings.

There ya go. You don’t need fancy AM anyways, there won’t be much to see in there.
