I was really inspired by Rhaven Black's incredible work, so I picked the David Jones version to build this time, with the emphasis on making it as clean as possible, (for me anyway!) based on the previous builds/ mistakes I've done of this model. The most important thing is to take your time, with precise cuts, and precise placement of all the internal stuff, so that everything you add to the outside can go together right. The hardest part for me was rolling the 4 fuselage skins and getting them tightly assembled and lined up, so that the nose cones and engine parts would fit right. With that out of the way, the rest went together without a hitch, and I was sad to see this build end. Lots of fun, and now I want to build all the other versions! Thanks to Revell-Fan, RB, and Paperaviation.de for sharing these beautiful models with us. You guys Rock!

Oh, I cheated by making the cannons out of toothpics, as well as the tips of the nosecones...easier for sausage fingers to do than the kit parts! Also, I cut the wings apart at the fold line to get a cleaner/ easier to do leading edge, and touched up with acrylic paints (Folk Art Goosefeather mixed w/ white)
