Stacking and gluing sheet styrene and then detailing with resin doodads and styrene sheet and rod made the turrets. The guns were made from progressively smaller styrene rod. Of course, molds were made of all these parts after completion. If it weren't for rubber and resin, none of my projects would ever get finished. The edges were filed smooth and then sanded to final shape.
Final assembly brings all of the subassemblies together.
Each engine was mounted to the vertical wing with superglue, then reinforced with JB Weld for strength. The small winglets on the engines were made and cast in resin and then mounted at this time. After carefully aligning the hull to the engines, I glued them together using 5 minute epoxy, using brass rod supports to hold the weight of the hull. The final step was to glue on the wings with epoxy, and add the guns and turrets. Panelling was done by masking off panels at random and shading one corner of each panel .
