Cheers chaps and Del, I don`t doubt lots of stuff would be flopping from one side to another, but I think if I try to carve up this kit anymore it will fall apart. :grin:

A few few more details added. Broken canopy, ariels masts and prop are a given, but added a bit of combat damage as well. Tried to make these holes irregular as bullets tend to `tumble` in the air. May need a bit more practice on that side of things?

Approaching the finished line now.

Looks tremendous Tony and the rudder is fine as is.

Love this build, it has given me an idea for a dio myself.
I've got one thing though:
Shouldn't one aileron go in the opposite direction of the other? (one up, the other down) Unless of course the aileron control cables are broken in which case both aileron would probably hang down.

Thank you.

Have to say I never really gave it much thought as this was an experiment type of build as such, so I put everything at a very `broken` angle.

Probably would of looked better if both were down though.

Hey Tony,
Bullets don't tumble in the air, and not all bullets tumble. Standard British 5.56mmx45mm ammunition is designed to tumble once it has impacted a target (most usually a body), where as a 7.62mmx51mm round will pass straight through a body and keep on going without tumbling.

Very nice build though and I like the idea of building a kit as a wreck :cool
