This kit definitely needs saving! It looks like you've done most of the major work, just perhaps the engine nacelles will be a bit of a challenge, but I reckon you will be surprised at how your skills have advanced and how easy the work on this might seem. I remember a few kits that I've test fitted and put back in the stash because it looked like insurmountable issues with my current skills, only to come back a few years later to the same kit and the issue wasn't a problem to deal with.
Can't wait to see this one finished.

Cool! I have this kit too, and look forward to seeing what you do with it.

I'd like to see it, too.

Looks great and such an interesting aircraft - looking forward to following this.
I can see that you should have bought shares in the putty company before starting :-)

Mine didn't even make the shelf of doom.
I sold it very soon after buying it - at a loss.
An absolute piggy of a kit. No two surfaces lined up, fuselage was warped, the detail very soft indeed, the instructions very scant indeed.
My advice would be to sell now before ZM's kit comes out. At least, I think it's ZM?

Same experience here, probably the worst kit I've seen in 1/32. Also add in oval tires, oval engines, mismatched surface details, etc - however the OP's kit does look a lot better than the one I was sent.
Good job getting your kit almost done David, looking forward to seeing it completed!

My B3 isnt that bad, but Im holding out for the ZM kit. Im also not selling my GMF kit either.............unless someone wants to buy a B3 kit without the B3 parts, cause Im planning on grafting the GMF B3 canon, and breach parts onto the ZM kit.

The one I have is a JRutman original, and while I haven't closely examined every part, it looks pretty good to me!

Keep it up, it's great progress. I don't have the kit, but love the shape of the plane and it's armament.

Looks great! That Shatton Bork canon IS the reason I bought the B3 kit. Its a little jewel. Keep going!

I find there's something oddly satisfying about sanding a model kit to death.
