It took almost two years from
start to finish, but I guess it was worth it. This Revell kit, like
many others, is very sparse. Almost the entire interior was made from scratch
or was heavily modified. I tried to catch the magic of looking real, by
adding as much interior and as many details as possible. The wipers, balance
weights and door handles are just a few of those that make a difference.
Painting was not a problem. The most nerve wrecking were the decals. I had to
correct the cracks in many places, because no decal softener worked on
them.

I used the Eduard WWII
seat straps, and the seats were covered with a very fine fabric. A lot
of wire was used for comm connections and instrument input cables, a block of
lead for the battery, a very fine net for intake protection, the rest is all
from plastic sheet. Some day I'll upgrade it with TOW rockets, but not just
yet, as my nerves have to get back online. I hope you like it.
