Looks like you are doing a great job!

Here's a last view before joining the fuselage's halves:

And here the two halves have been glued together.Notice that the turret has been cut off so I can start modifying the model.

I proceeded to cover the holes to change the configuration from 8 machine guns to 6:

Then I drilled the new holes:

And this is an idea of how it will look when finished.The machine guns still need to be cut to proper lentgh:

The model will be finished in the Honduras Air Force's colors.I haven't decided which one it will be yet,the camo version or the blue one with the shark mouth.

Cheers

Crikey! Did the cockpit detail come with the kit or have you added some?

Cheers

No cockpit detail come in the Cutting Edge kit,I just painted the interior as it came in the Monogram box without adding any available details.The only metal parts are the front landing gear and the machine guns.

I've always been impressed with the amount of detail in Monogram cockpits.
