Thanks for the kind words, fellas.
Brent, no new updates yet. Overcame a major obstacle on my Boss 351 project so I've been putting all of my energy into finally getting that one done.

Your CP subassembly looks fantastic. Will the fuel tanks be visible in the end?
Cheers Dave

That is n amazing sub-assembly. Strapping looks perfect.The precision and neatness of the paint work is stunning to me. Thanks Lyle! Those Tamiya Masking Sticker Sheets I started using a few years ago work extremely well for all kinds of complex masking tasks. Infinitely re-positionable, and their adhesive doesn’t react with paint like tape sometimes does for some reason. Wow, that looks stupendous!! Thanks Brandon! Your CP subassembly looks fantastic. Will the fuel tanks be visible in the end? Cheers Dave Thanks Dave! I was almost kicking myself for going to the brain damage of painting the fuel tanks, but I looked ahead in the instructions, and it looks like there’s a separate belly panel. That could realistically be removed from the aircraft in real life, so I think that’s one of the areas I’ll open up. I have a little bag of 1mm magnets, so I might even make it so the panel can be stuck back on the belly. I’m working on the fuselage now, and there’s all kinds of crazy detail back there too…but I can’t imagine a real-world situation where the entire skin on the side of the aircraft would be removed in one, giant piece. That detail will be getting glued in for structural support, but I’m not going to waste time painting any of it

Looking forward to seeing that! I painted the fuel tanks on my Ta-152. Thinking I was going to open that portion up. I considered it an exercise is detail painting.
Cheers Dave

Fantastic progress on this! Great to see you back on it again but that sucks your fence went down because of the weather.

There are a TON of details in this kit it looks like eagle. Some really eyepopping work going into bringing this one to life and I'm looking forward to seeing that belly panel opened up to see the fuel cell detail at a later stage of the build.

Looks to be really coming together now! Strange the about the ammo drum fitment but nice you caught it before the assembly stage.
