;D

Msde a start on this today ..the plane itself went together beautifully..it's a Revell kit made in Korea  ;D
Next the fun part ..mounting the floats..getting a plan in my nut for the mounts and having to build em in such away the the bomb bay is still fully functional.
Also thinking of moving the upper turret forward 🤔
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

What did I do today on this? ..absolutely nothing..instead I replaced a fuel line on a 27ft boat and cut  up three 2490 x 1200 18mm thick marine grade sheets of plywood.
Now km having a coffee  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

True, there are alternates for your caffeine fix... some more acceptable than others, but there you go... ;)
