I picked one up super cheap with a broken prop blade, and looking at the way it's put together, it seems easy enough to make a new prop/nose cone of a later variant. dunno about the shape of the wings, and I know it needs a second radiator and such.. I'm looking at you PH :wink:

You may have to change the guns too. Even if you keep the 303s you may want to align them with the gun hatches in the wings. Here is one that I did. I also made my own gun barrels from aluminum tubing. I know the paint scheme is for a Mk V, but I kept the plane a Mk I or Mk II as it came.

That looks pretty good. I like how you reworked the gun barrels, they look ten times better than the stock ones do.

I'm assuming it's either super easy or super hard?

I would dig a later variant. If PH makes the add ons I'm in.
