Yes, I usually leave the bombs, rockets, and missiles in the spares box. You're really going all-out on these!

I wonder why so many modellers don't use the ordnance with the models?

On certain models, weapons are worth adding, i.e. Ju87, Beaufighter, P-47, A-1, A-6, MiG-23 etc. On others, they detract from graceful lines, Yak-1, Spitfire, F-86 amongst many.

In my case it's pure laziness, I admit. :-red However, I am starting to add a little ordnance with the positive influence of LLL builders.

Interresting comments - and thanks, all of you.

I prefer also an aircraft without ordnance, for the purity of the lines. At least for WWII - Modern aircrafts sounds a little bit "naked" without ordnance... ;)

Masks are removed from rockets. Of course, some corrections were needed to the paint; so I wil let dry that glossy paint and wait until next time before to airbrush clear varnish
