tip: create a project, kit 8292 is already in the database. Add it to your completed models, create a project once you've done that. Edit this album and attach it to the project😉

Very nice! I have the same boxing in my stash but didn't dare to touch it yet.

Beware, although there are not so many parts, it's a difficult kit to build due to its size. Even so, there are no bulkheads between the wheel wells and the bomb bay so it's a "look through" hull. I made some of plasticard an this gave a more realistic appearance. The biggest problem however is the painting of the beast as you require white undersides and 3 to 4 different shades of aluminium + a black nose. It takes time to let it dry overnight before applying the other shades. Even the retouching work takes a long time.
