Just a few quick shots of my newest project. Overall, the kit isnt too bad. Some of the parts are not correct for a TA- version of this aircraft, like the third crewmember seat in the cockpit should be facing forward, not aft and the main gear bay should be open to the other side at the rear section of the bay and the tail of the kit has you add guns to a turret, which on the TA version, the guns in the turret were replace with a camera to assist in scoring bomb hits by the bombardier trainers in the rear crew compartment. I will be using acetate to simulate the lens for the camera on the turret housing later in the build.

Sorry the last one is a bit blurry, probably due to all the clutter on the bench.

Good start. Steel Beach makes a replacement turret part.
