This build started four months ago using the Pro Modeler kit , a re-boxing of the Accurate Miniatures kit with a bunch of goods added to it with a fare bit of scratching tossed in . Sets used ... Eduards cockpit set , bomb bay , wheel well ( only a few parts got used ) Flaps and exterior set . Aeries wheel well , wolfpack wing fold , Quick boost engine and various parts form the KMC resin set .
The cockpit is Eduards PE and KMC resin parts with a few scratched details which where missing , the seat is form Ultracast . Oxygen hose is rubber but can't recall the brand name ....oh well ! Form behind the polits seat the frame , fuel tank , oil , cooling line is all scratched built . the radio is a mixture of resin kit and scratched items , even included the head set ( head phones ) and telegraph thinging and all the wiring behind the radio . The lift raft is role taped paint yellow and weathered . A few corrections where made to guns add a bit more details added . I left the turtle deck in the rasied position but I did add detail to this area . Wheel wells got more detail added to them , hydraulic lines etc etc and missing structure parts for the landing gear which also got detailed with missing details . The wing fold , this is one heavy set and adds a lot of weight to the model . The wing slats are molded in place . This is incorrect . This was fixed to the landing gear , gear down slats extended . So I had to scrap this area away for the kit slats to fit in the space . The flaps need to painted before the bending starts or you will not be able to paint the inners .
