Hello my name is José Luis Martinez, I live in Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico, is the first time that I send pictures to be publish it, my English is not very good, for that if I have grammar errors forgives me, I have 33 years old (married with 2 kid boy and girl) and I have approximately one year building scale models, I bought this kit in a trip to Los Angeles, CA. in November of 2002.
This one was built according to the kit's instructions, with some modifications made to it ...such as: the installation of an electric motor for the prop, flashing lights in wings and tail as well lights inside the cockpit (lights and electric motor are from old cellular phones), I did usin g Tamiya's acrylic paints.First step: I built the cockpit.
Second step: I install the electric motor to spin the prop. Third step: I install lights inside cockpit. Fourth step: I didn't have space to place the battery, so I decided to eliminate the auxiliary tank of fuel and to manufacture a new one with capacity for a battery of 3V, I took an old hand light of my little kid to made the battery holder. After that I decided to continue with the kit’s instructions to arm and paint. Also, I attach photos of other models that I have including my Titanic and U-boat. Most of them have lights and electric motors. Thank you. José Luis Martínez
