Not much time left, but I should be able to put this kit together quickly.
There are only 12 pieces, ;)
I'll post up some piccies as soon as I can.

There is some flash but its not too bad.
All these 1/144 kits come to be built 'wheels down' but I want them up on this one so I'll be sanding the u/c legs, wheels, doors down till they're thin enough to fit the wells.
I'll have to sort out a pilot too.
oh, and a broken cross for the tail.

Sorry, forgot to put up some pictures.
One during the build; a fair bit of fillers is needed on these little aeroplanes; and a round wedge of sprue was glued into the hole for the bomb [on the centre line] the other hole is for the stand.

Almost done; a little blob of a pilot is installed;

And finished;

To get the wheels up, the supplied wheels/legs/doors were sanded until they were tissue thin then glued in the recess. [See the photo at tp of this bit]
