Hi to all,
some months ago i started the building of this kit.
As you can image it is not a "weekend" kit and needs a lot of improvements and attention in parts fitting.
I started detailing cockpit and bomber compartment:

despite the kit includes resin parts, the detail is very basic so small parts such as levers, throttles and circuit brakers are scrath builded.
Another critical area is the joining of winshield and the transparent parts of the bomber compartment: i have spent many hours in sanding, filling and rescribing this area to reach a decent result:
the whole model has been riveted by Rosie-the-riveter:
that's all. Next episode will be the medified rudder and the wheel wells.
Bye
