Hi, gentlemens.
Here a Trumpeter's E-25, built OOB with some scratchbuild details. Easy build, quite good fit for early Trumpeter kit.

Nice weld beads and rivets! Looking really good, I like your use of a pepsi? can to craft a muffler. Well done!
What did you make the tie-down points out of?

It does surprise me that it's that good a fit being an early Trumpy kit.....let alone any Trumpy kit. That is indeed a good use of a Pepsi can. I do this same thing when fabricating tricky metal parts. I learned it from a guy named Fermis. That dude's crazy with the Arizona Tea Cans.

Thanks for comments, guys. Tie-down points punched from thin plastic used injection needle as a punch.
Next time I should use "Canadian dry" can -to support local manufacturers.

Excellent finish! Great work on the painting and weathering. Man that thing must have been cramped inside with such a low silhouette!
