Thanks for the positive vibes you guys 
Sorry about the posting delays guys . I just spent an entire day trying to figure out why my picture folders no longer displayed the pictures like it use to . Possibly an update or a chnage of in windows program :idonno
After that small dilema , I found myself locked out of Gmail . That took forever to solve ....
Tell me again how computers are my friend :smack MP could prbably solved it by mashing three buttons
Anyhow ,
Attaching antenna wires to the mast in this scale has always been less than :facepalm great . Sort of like this one but I need to scale it down some.
The rear gunner gun was modified by adding a sight , making a ammo magazine, the wooden parts of the stock and drilling the barrel....Sorry, I forgot to take a picture before inserting it in the office
Would of like never got it back in there.
I was finally able to make a descent copy of the sliding part of the front cockpits :woohoo:
If you look at the pictures carefully , you will notice some sublle dirt and liquid stains made with some AK interactive effects . All the pictures showed well cared for birds .
Really enjoyed the newly found AK's... They are more obvious in real life.
Antenna wire is charcoal invisible thread
gun barrels are two sizes of albyon aluminum tubing
Well , I believe that was it. Fun old kit with a bit of work .
Hope you like it . Cheers, Christian
