Here is another update, although it may be hard to notice what I did. The last update was about a month ago, since then I attacehd the flaps, antenna mast and antenna, the gun sight, and put in the MG blast tubes and barrels.
The first photo shows the parts before attaching. I still have to put on the last canopy piece, the pitot tube, the exhausts, and 6 navigation lights. Then I’ll add some stains for the exhausts and machine guns, maybe a couple other places too. There is also a photo from before I attached the flaps.
This is the link to my last update in May. The bottom link is to older posts that go back a couple years.

Comments, suggestions and questions as always are welcome. Thanks for looking.
Sorry, I guess i should’ve provided a little more info. This is the Eduards Shark Mouths Over China kit in 1/48 scale. I like this scale because I can get very detailed and still have room on the shelf for more models.
Shipwreck - Almost none of the detail in the landing gear wells is from the kit. I scratch built a lot including new landing gear doors (large and small in the main gear wells and the tail gear doors). I made the doors from soda can aluminum and a couple PE pieces. The kit wells were incorrectly shaped, too thick, etc. The stuff inside the large part of the wells is PE and copper wire hydraulic lines, and a couple other small scratch built bits.
If you go back a ways in this build thread there are photos and a better description of what I did. But it’s probably pretty far back in the forum becasue like I said earlier I’ve been working on this kit for more than two years.
Thanks again for the comments, I really appreciate them.
