LadNDad Douglas Boston Mk III, 1/48 downscaled to 1/72

The Boston has remained in a half-built condition for quite some time, almost a year, after I tore apart the wings that were not quite right when I first started building it. Finally, I have it done with enhancement, bomb bay doors, bombs and spinning props. I would say, with no offence to LND, that their models are a real challenge even to the experienced paper modelers. Some parts are not easy to fit and you have to think of something to fix it here and there. The graphics don't always align (that I could do nothing about to correct) and there's a lot of trimming and patching to deal with.

OK, whining is over, and the model turns out to be quite a beauty, considering some of the details, like the engines with cylinders, and the wheels. So, it's not all that bad.
