    This looks terrific, Reinhard (@grimreaper). All the extra work is really paying off. I built an ESCI Skyraider a while back, but I didn't do any of the detail work you are doing. Well done.

    Good to see her on her feet, Reinhard @grimreaper
    The exhaust stains do look very realistic.

    adding the outer racks step by step
    the curve of the racks doens´t match the curve of the wing completely, filling the small gaps with glue

    All looking great, @grimreaper! The different curvatures seem to be a commonly seen phenomenon in a number of cases.

    guns, napalm canisters and arresting hook added
    btw, didn´t care about the belly dive brake because you won´t see it when the model stands
