i have started another firebomber project it's a monogram P61 with a Lone Star F15 reporter conversion with an added Lone Star F15 borate tank.

the conversion is pretty good with a fair amount cast in detail.

the mongram parts fit the Lone Star pod pretty well.

and back into it......i recently sent another upgrade for the Reporter....so it now has correct cowls and i have added a pair of Quickboost engines.

the upgrades includes and replacements for the front of both booms as well as the cowls

old compared to new.

it came with engines but they aren't correct for the firebomber version as it has the fairings ove the reduction gear that follows the spinners.

but i have a quickboost R2800 in my spares stash and tried it out....and it looked much better......so a pair of A26 engines was ordered.

much better
Image127048072_1433712723490762_8779990291793811506_o by paul sabin, on Flickr
and painted

and fitted a huge improvement over the Monogram kit engines.

i have now got back into the main build...canopy has been fitted ,
Image130197950_1443296542532380_5743989712570816661_o by paul sabin, on Flickr
and the cowls fitted.....i hope i'm on the home run with it now.
