Thanks guys!
Yesterday I airbrushed on the flat coat…. Today was lots of little steps all day long… some final bits of detail painting such as the exhaust stacks and tail wheel… I took this tail fitting from my Hasegawa A-24 kit, which does not use the item.
Then I added some sway braces to the wing bomb racks, as well as later gluing the bombs in place and finally gluing the main landing gear wheels in place using some True Details resin wheels
After the glue had dried on those items, I removed the cockpit masking, exposing that area for the first time in many years
I then added some Kits World 3D decals seat harnesses to the pilots and gunners seats, as well as adding the rear canopy hoods into their open stowed position
Then lastly I did some bits of dry brushing, added the canopy and windscreen, the rear twin gun mount taken from the same Hasegawa A-24 (that kit is getting a single mount .30), and then I added the antenna line…
She is now all finished after all these years. I will get up a multi angle series of photos up in the appropriate finished section tomorrow or Monday. My first completion of 2026!

BRAVO!
Congratulations, Carlos! Time to kick back and celebrate your oldest child all grown up, no longer on the doom shelf and part of your collection! It's been a long road to get here, but you put your heart and soul into this project and turned out a winner!

To quote John Cleese…
This is another long sidelined project that I suddenly felt the urge to complete…
last night I pulled it off the shelf of doom and pondered what had been constructed so far
So today I started airbrushing basic colors… I’m going with a Battle of Britain inspired 1940 color scheme instead of what’s on the box top…
The white areas are a base for yellow and I still need to add the RLM 70 over the RLM 02, but at least now it’s on the path to completion… stay tuned for more progress on Monday or Tuesday…
