Here is one I haven't seen built before, the B24D Minerva. It is very well designed and everything fits nicely.
I built it a little differently than the instructions specified. Firstly I made the fuselage with joining strips, the kit has bulkheads the butt up against each other. Secondly I gussetted the crap out of the wings to make sure they didn't twist, I also put a tab on the trailing edge to make the glueing easier. Thirdly the propellers spin freely. And, lastly, I took the new wheels from the C130 and altered them to fit the kit, to make them work I did not use the bottom flat tread, and I didn't use wheel former, which wasn't needed.
When it says add weight to the front, add a lot of it. I just used a couple of nickles, and it wasn't enough. Then I poked a hole in the top of the nose gear (which I built hollow like the C130) and stuffed flattened out .177 lead pellets into it.... still not enough weight. Finally I poked a whole it the bottom where the nose wheel goes and stuffed about a dozen flatted pellets in there and got the nose to stay down.
So (drum roll) here is what she looks like.
