    Very good work! Wheel bays is from the kit or aftermarket resin?

    Thanks my friend @lis!
    The wheel wells were the kit supplied ones, I only added some net pieces to make the upper walls look more interesting!

    Some more puttying was necessary, meaning a minor retouching session to commence. Also, the rear wheel housing that included the doors was attached in position...

    . The drop tank received scratch built bracing wires, for added realism... Thanks for stopping by!

    @fiveteen - all your extra re-work is really paying off here, Spiros. The screen mesh in the wheels is a very nice touch. Keep on!

    Perfection isn't easy. But, your getting there. It's a process of discovery and correction followed, by more discovery and correction. Lookin good Spiros.

    Thanks my friend @eb801! Looks like Farrel's plane made it to the end, meaning wells canvas boots removed and inner structure painted with the under-fuselage color. Hopefully the "meshed" area will look convincing after some weathering...

    Lotsa work I see done, looks pretty nice from here.

    I have one of these in the stash and have not yet worked up the courage to start it
