Awesome detail work Wayne, keep it up and keep on detailing.

Thanks guys... I'm really enjoying this build

Scratch building the gun-bay access panel:

The panel is made out of thin aluminium sheet - Big THANKS to Robert for supplying the raw material


Slaters plastic strips were used to create the frame, and aluminum was used for the triangular plates which was sanded down


The panel after light priming. I think the plates need to be sanded down further.


Thanks for watching.

Nice work .... John ...Oh ..Wayne I was going to say........

Excellent my friend, very nice work indeed, aluminum is a joy to work with

Beautiful detail work Wayne, well done, keep up this lovely job you are doing.

Some more progress on the main wheel well:
