Hi all!
I was building this model to a model group building in a brazilian forum, itīs model is from Tamiya, 1/72 scale, built entirely out-of-the-box.
Here is the link for in-progress pics:

Open for discussions, critics and opinions!

Nicely done Paulo. Good build. Check your main landing gear. I think you might have them backwards.

Cheers,
David

Hi!
The gunports I just painted them, they are very nicely represented on the model. The lights under wing were made by simply painting first with X-11 Chrome aluminiun from Tamiya, after dried I painted them using retroprojectors penīs, very easy!.
Cheers
