Another excellent
kit from Tamiya, it is relatively an easy kit to build. To make the model
more interesting, I added a few scratch-build items (Gun bay, Fuel Tank and Flaps).
Main
references were obtained from cutaway drawings from various aviation
magazines.

The Hispano cannons and ammo
links were scratch-build with plastic strips and rods. To ensure the gun
bay fits properly, I have to take care of the space constrain cause by the
weight leads. As for the fuel tank, the fuel pipe was made of metal
rod and bent to shape.
