Inside of the bombing bay doors are completely featureless so I decided to partly perforate them to add some interest. Should have aligned the holes better. Landing bay doors detailed with stretched sprue. Landing flap bays were made from styrene, they turned out better than I has expected.

I really like the shading of the Dark Green that you have managed. Really nice build 👍

Thanks David and Guy. Added a picture with the camouflage scheme that I tried to replicate.

Stunning model. I saw this aircraft recently in a Modeling Madness article, and fell in love with the look of it immediately. Reminds me of the Martin B-26 Marauder in a way. Same sort of slender looks, very sleek appearance.

Hi Cujate, thanks, I don't remember exactly which colors I used for this project, but probably they were from Model Master range which unfortunately has been discontinued.

Album info

For this plane I decided not to use any aftermarket products (except canopy masks) and had a go at scratchbuilding some details.
