Northrop XB-35

AMT/Ertl 1:72 Scale

  I picked up this kit on a whim. Neat subject. The kit does not get the best reviews but can be built into a decent model.

Next step is to rubber cement the cockpit canopies and landing gear doors on so I can paint it. The rubber cement allows me to pop off the pieces later to finish those areas.
