The nose was cut to be displayed alone and to show the front landing gear system.

To improve my model I will use also some PE parts from Eduard.

One fo the gunbays will be open so I had to cut the 'door' on the right side.

I'm also looking forward for this one... In case you didn't knew the putty used on the real plane was early war RLM02 and late war more like RLM66 (maybe paler or inbetween these colors by sanding)
