Next up! Yes, I've only just built this exact same kit. But it was always intended to have a twin. I won't be posting much progress but bear with me, because once this one is done I can promise you that the next project will be a seriously unexpected surprise.... #MonogramB52

A little scratch work on the kit supplied gun to make it appear a little less utterly wrong. #KatModelPhonixC1

The kit propeller is boxy, thick and the pitch is the wrong way round. Couldn't find a suitable replacement so I cut off the blades, reattached them back to front and filled, filed and sanded to what I hope is a decent representation of the Sigma Airscrew. #KatModelPhonixC1

The kit undercarriage is not only weak, but also rather inaccurate, so building my own.... #KatModelPhonixC1

Just putting together the replacement wing struts, using brass instead of the puny 3D prints in the kit. #KatModelPhonixC1

Newly identified reference material indicates that my chosen aircraft had the unusual "amphorae" style exhausts. So I've chopped them off and done some modifications. #KatModelPhonixC1

Lower wings prepped. The white spots are me filling in the kit strut sockets. The kit struts are woefully poor and weak (3D resin is not ideal) so will be replacing with my own. #KatModelPhonixC1

Scratch building cockpit components. Very little in the kit and what there is, is just wrong! #KatModelPhonixC1

Changed the pilot and observer cockpit profile to something more accurate. #KatModelPhonixC1
