I started this for my own Too Many Props Group build, but I got distracted working on 1:1 1943 Ford GPW Jeep. Will I managed to squeeze in time to finish this bird up. She fought me all the way, right down to the last machine gun that suddenly went missing from the handy paint mixing cup it had been sitting in all this time. I modified a spare gun from the kit and it's covered mostly by the bombsight and the nose gun, so it'll work. Also, the props didn't want to go on the hubs, even after modifying the openings and hubs, weird! Built OOB, except I did open the side nose gun ejection ports.

I especially like your faded OD effect. i'm gonna try to make my exterior color look like yours but with more sublety on the panel lines.

I started the same kit but shelved it temporarily to save up for AM interior parts. Tough time to save any $ around Christmas you know.  Maybe Santa wifey will put it under the tree  LOL.
