Finished! I opted to go for the rockets instead of the wing mounted bombs as I think it looks cooler that way ;).

Nice job on the Mozzie. The clay masks turned out well. Did you use AM gun barrels and canopy masks? Thanks for posting these pictures. It helps with my planned build.

Thanks Paul, and you are welcome! 🙂
I used Eduard's masks for the canopy, I must have forgot to add them to the project. And the "clay masks" are actually a product called "patafix". I think it is also called "blue tack" in other parts of the world. I used it to stick posters to the walls when I was a kid😉. The gun barrels are the ones provided in the kit, but the belly guns are not complete, so if you want to have the front part of the bomb bay open to show them off, you should go for an after market kit.
