nice work there, one thing i noticed was the ?glue marks? by the bomb bay, a little more time and patience wit the glue, or a sanding stick or paper can go a long way with improving your build skills, also a nice wash would bring out the detail on the kit, otherwise, nice build and i hope your happy with her!

what glue marks the only mar i see is by the because i still haven't figured out how to get a good join line between the fuselage and the wings.as for the wash i fail at washes. and i also did some research on the brid i was doing and she had fresh paint so i opted not to weather the outside but did some on the inside as it was more then likely used in ww2 so it saw action. but was repainted after

Nice build, I think he may have been wondering about those "bumps" on the starboard side wing between the fuselage and engine. I was curious what the structure aft in the bomb bay was (my computer is not the best) and what the pattern is on the 500lb GP HE bomb in the bomb bay was. It was a cool color scheme I have not seen before. Anyway, nice looking plane with cool markings. Take care. Jim

i believe what your referring to is the upper turrets structure i had a lot of trouble with it . as for the coloring on the bombs i believe its from the glue i used i had a lot of issues keeping them in so i believe part of that is the super glue i used to keep the buggers in
