Cheers Gavin. :smiling3:

Speaking of the gun, I was going to paint it gunmetal (it's currently the same colour as the nose, FS36081), however I have now decided to leave it that colour and just give it some drybrushing with a steel colour, which I think will look better.

Cheers Joe, it certainly looks like it means trouble. :smiling3:

Even with the weight added to the front end it almost wants to tip back, I will have to be careful.

There very few if any other warbird that can lug that much ordinance into air and "skip the light fantastic" at low altitude in the CAS role. AWESOME!!:thumb2::thumb2:

My all time favorite warbird!

I think the reason I was drawn to this kit is because it's basically just an airborne tank. :tears-of-joy:

Cheers Ian. I might take you up on that, not sure I've got room for it. :smiling3:
