    What is the different between the left and right bombs, is it the position of mountings stubs?

    @johnb @fiveten Bombs comes in to the two pieces (main body). One half have integral bomb rack. Both of them have two montage holes that need to be drilled. Left and right bombs need to be drilled in different bomb halfes. All bombs fits so tight, so I have some problems with pins on support for securing bombs in the bomb bays, where bombs need, during dry fit. One pin was broken, but it will be not visible during final montage. Unfortunetly bombs have not good looking seam on their halfes. I try to Sand it but it was so hard, because of bomb fuse. So Finally bombs don't look as I want. I'm thinking about to close bomb doors. In another hand I spend a lot of time to made bomb bay good looking. What do you think about it?

    I think the seams are not looking too bad, @lis, so, my suggestion is to leave the bomb bay open.

    Looking fine here, Lis @lis
    I agree with Spiros @fiveten to leave the bomb bay open.

    Props are ready. Technical stencils and second coat of semi gloss clear. As I remember Hasegawa decals are not good enaught as Airfix decals or other brands. Clear parts of decals are slightly visible.
