Weapons/pod update. Decals are on. I made a color change from images I found online on the snakeye painting the fin/tail portion Medium Grey of the snakeye bombs. Next, clearcoat to seal in the decals. I dipped the nose of the bombs in a pool of chrome yellow. A couple dips in yellow was satisfying enough for me. Silver on the tips.

Your ordnance looks good Tom! You could also go with gray bomb bodies and OD fin & guidance assemblies.

Now I understand the nose fit issues. Its been a fight. I have yet proceeded to the front windscreen yet. I will admit, I was already aggravated with something else at home, but this adds more aggravation for me. Almost put a hammer to it. I've glued some areas with thin CA and I'll take a look see tonight after I remove tape that's holding certain spots together.Medicman71 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 2:33 pm It'll be when you attach the nose to the fuselage. And the front windscreen doesn't quite fit right either.
