I did some work on the backsides of some of the panels for the bombbay, painted the instrument panel black and sorted a few ammo lanes.

One strange thing is that the 1/48 scale version actually have a premade weight that goes with the kit! There’s none with this kit but I think there’s clear evidence that there was supposed to be one.

I measured 80g of bullets and put as many of them I could in the nose.

Then I used blue tack to hold the rest of the bullets that I put in the empty space behind the front landing gear well.

As can be seen I’ve also repainted the cockpit area with dull dark green.

I added the bombs to the side walls.

Then I assembled the bomb bay.

Lastly I added the ammo lanes to the rear gun.

I still need to paint a few more details and sort the mid guns. I’ll probably add a few wires to the guns as they seems to have that.

Hopefully I can soon start to assembly the interior and then the fuselage halves.
