I saw a forum discussing your build Trey, must be the bloke for whom you are building this one. Quite the conversation about the staggered windows and other things, you definitely have your work cut out.

Looking cracking Trey. The IP is very impressive, and the rest of the office is a detail fest.

Looking forward to more.

Thanks for the kind words Fellas! Joe you're right thats the Bloke! Great news no staggered windows on this version ,so I dodged some major surgery!Even though this area wo'nt be seen in great detail once its entombed I could'nt just leave it as is. First I cut away this clunky blob of what ca'nt even be identifed and replaced the hole with some sheet styrene

Then after cutting down the kit supplied front table it was painted and glued in along with the support leg made from a standard wood toothpick

Next up was building the radio stack. I finally found a use for the resin mold bases,after some sanding they turned into suitable replacent boxes for the equipment.

Added some details and painted it

Finally installed

Superb stuff Trey.

Thanks Joe! My apologies for the delays in updates, I took a break to go to Daytona for some Moto racing and now its back to the build!

I've been ordered to open the bomb bays so broke out the razor saw. The Verlinden update set included some nice brass doors with some rib detail added.

I had to adjust the nav/radio seat and desk position to a more 'scale' size and location

Then added some more radio detail and gave it a light wash to perk it up

Waist gun areas up next ,more True detail resin. The kit details removed with a dremel and the parts fit right in.

More nose detail added and more yet to come,the small resin bits to the left will be the bomb sight eventually

I don't know where the order to open up the bomb bay came from, but he or she is quite right. So much detail cannot be hidden by a couple of doors - it would be a crime !
