I'm looking forward to seeing this one underway ! I'll get the stickers in the mail tomorrow. I like what you're doing here with this one. Sorry to make your wallet take a hit though... but you should be happy in the end when you have something that no one else does.

First photo here.

Top is the kit crankcase and bottom is the resin one from Quickboost.

Thanks Tom and Louis.

Great entry, looking forward to this conversion, David @kahu

It should be relatively uncomplicated except the carpet monster just ate part D7 for one of the main gear wells. Luckily it is a small part and I used its mirror part to make a suitable substitute out of sheet plastic.

Let's hope this is the only time the carpet monster gets fed.

Yes oodles of tiny parts. And D7 went flying while using tweezers.

Managed to finish the main gear wells without losing another part. So winning!

As you can see the detail is simply amazing. It is like Zoukei Mura had made a 1/32 P-47 and all the parts got perfectly shrunk to 1/48. The down side is plenty of petite parts that can be easy to break. So take your time removing the parts from the sprues.

This is a banger of a kit.

Wonderful looking landing gear, my friend @kahu!
Ahhhhh, those missing parts! A big discussion on when and under which circumstances are found again...
