I have completed the first six steps. I can’t show you any photos for now because James wants to use them first in his documentary. I am taking different shots of all the steps and he validates which ones he will be using.
I am very surprised by the engineering and the fit of all the parts for now.
The bomb bay is nicely detailed but won’t show up because the bomb bay doors are molded in one long piece.
You have to read the instructions very carefully since there are parts for a Mk III also. This can be confusing sometimes.
Assembling the engines was a little tricky even if there were locating pins to help alignment.
Most of the details if not all won’t be seen when the fuselage parts are glued. Painting instructions are minimal.
The interior should be sort of a reddish brown as seen on some photos.
Some parts like the machine guns are quite fragile and I will have to glue them before glueing the fuselage. Extra care will be needed when I will be handling the model kit for painting the interior which will be next.
I will use this as reference…
