Getting to the last few details now... wheels are on, undercarriage doors are on, flaps are on, cowling fasteners are on (all 30+ of them)... decided to improve the kit pitot tube:



Also, just a little detail but one that makes me smile... the iron sights for the guns (still have to be painted)....




Takatakatakataka....!  Hehe!

Next, painting the last little details, then final clear coat... and dreaded canopy attachment...

Cheers,

Wow! Those are amazing additions, there's no way I could have added those as neatly as you in that tiny scale.

Great workmanship and attention to detail from the small catches around the panel openings to the naughty little bits of grass that poke through the wooden planks.

     Very nice Brad, the detail is beautifully rendered and so sharply defined, outstanding work in such a small scale. Considering your real life tasks of the past year or more I'd say your rate of production is truly remarkable, Well done!
