I really enjoy following this thread.
Fantastic work!

Thanks, Don and 7TP The model is almost complete.
The bomb has many links to the fuselage. In practice, I used just two, on the centreline, and put wire bits. The others are more scenery...

It looks very nice mounted up - incredibly realistic

Thanks, friends

As usual, I used an accessory for the canopy. It may look short, in the picture, because there are two sections. I almost always have trouble with the inner frames. The parts are thinner than the outer ones, to cater for the plastic thickness, but not enough. My fault, possibly. The solution is to cut the inner frames at less visible places and trim, as needed.

It is always better to use vacuformed canopies.


Looks good.

I agree, Isaac Fortunately, they are often available.

The last construction pictures show some details, including the gun. I intend to post the final pictures tomorrow, before being “off” for holidays.

Great work of art Ricardo! Candy for the eye. Well, you're off to your holidays tomorrow. I'm in the Velez Malaga area already (Almachár) but thanks to the internet paper modeling stays nearby. Regarding the poor paper quality, it helps to apply a coat of matt varnish before cutting, bending, rolling and pasting of the paper. The coating makes the paper stronger!

Enjoy your holidays!
