Album image #1
Hi guys, here is the aircraft I want to represent. I like the fact to have parts of the aircraft not painted. 
 

Album image #2
The nose was cut to be displayed alone and to show the front landing gear system. 
 

Album image #3
To improve my model I will use also some PE parts from Eduard. 
 

Album image #4
One fo the gunbays will be open so I had to cut the 'door' on the right side. 
 

Album image #5
The Master metal pitot is great ! It was glued on the nose using superglue. 
 

Album image #6
Here is, also from Master, the gun barrel.

Working on the gun bay I added the main walls with some rivets.

Here is to show the place to insert the gun barrel. 
 

Album image #11
Its time to work on the nose, first to create the main wall. 
 

Album image #12
After some rivets the main wall was placed.

Starting with the PE parts in the cockpit....very small PE parts in deed. 
 

Album image #16
At the end it will look like this... 
 

Album image #17
Some rivets inside 
 

Album image #18
So I had also to improce the cockpit sidewalls using some evergreen stripes and sprue. 
 

Album image #19
And finally the PE parts were also placed. 
 

Album image #20
Album image #21
Also the wheels were improved using PE parts. 
 

Album image #22
I had to send them to give weight to the aircraft. 
 

Album image #23
Need to burn the guns now....

I'm also looking forward for this one... In case you didn't knew the putty used on the real plane was early war RLM02 and late war more like RLM66 (maybe paler or inbetween these colors by sanding)
