Hi Greg
Very impressive, skilled work. The gun mounts are great but the windscreens are something else. How on earth did you get the curve right.
And now paint

Dear all here is today's update...i placed the plexiglas in the nose...the rounded glasses of the kit had a couple of huge holes so l used gunze sangyo mr hobby sand paper from left to right 2400-4000-6000-8000 and then l polished it with tamiya compounds from red to white....these tools are MAGIC

 

[BigGreg]
