    The upper cooling louvers were molded "bland", so I decided to open them...

    Thanks for stopping by!

    @fiveten: reminds me of an old Rolling Stones song.

    That should be "Paint it black" my friend @eb801?

    You took that song very litterally, Spiros @fiveten
    Looks great.

    The kit provides only "gunner" configuration with a gun and a raised seat for the rear compartment, whereas in the P-70 a lower seat and (basically) two big radar consoles occupied the space. To kind of replicate it, I will use the seat but with reduced height and some leftover consoles and bits to beef up the empty space...

    Thanks for stopping by!

    That will definitely do the work, Spiros @fiveten
    Looking forward to that.
