So I've been out of the hobby for a year or so, dipped my foot in the pool here and there, but got back in seriously about 2 months ago. Decided to come back w/Trump's BR 52, and have changed my mind how I want to build it about 20 times. I would like to thank Bill Plunk, Marc Vandorpe and Bill Harriott for their reference pics I got off the web.
I initially built the body, painted the base color, and was going to add all the littles after. Bad idea. I spent a cpl hours scraping paint at glue joints. I got the idea to open the front from Marc, and I will be displaying this as abandoned somewhere in eastern Europe. Anyway, lots of pics....
Going to redo the sandpipes with wire. The vinyl ones about gave me an aneurysm...
Interior. I spent probably 28-30 hours on just the interior.....
Exterior....
Front opening....
