Much thanks, dudes!


Work is starting to ramp up, thus a little less bench time...but I am starting to get somewhere with the Avenger.

So far...the main/big PE bits...

Image

Top/center...I cut out the rear door, to position it open. This made the door a bit too small. I used that part for the interior side of the door, while the outside was smash-molded over the area for the contour, then cut to shape.

There was zero detail for the radio ops. area....UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Image

I'll be adding a little more after painting.

I hope that you’re gonna pose that hatch open after adding that detail in there :hmm:

Man that is some great scratch work! :shoutout:
