    to have a slightly different diversion from the usual all bombs loadout, we decided to mount napalm tanks to the inner pylons, using leftovers form an unfinished Trumpeter RF-80 kit

    This is going to be looking very good especially when you consider the extra details you are adding to the ordnance it will be carrying. Well done !

    always the tricky rings on the bombs
    the spaces betwen the nose rings were engraved, so my dad painted the complete nose yellow and did a panel line wash

    and some yellow paint for the napalm canisters
