Nice start John.

Small update...... I was enjoying this kit and it as some nice detail but when it came to buttoning the fuselage up was when the problems started. A bit of a bad fit I'm afraid and it was a bit of a phaff but with a lot of patience super glue and masking tape I managed to beat it into shape.The kit cost me £10 and there is a lot to be said about buying more expensive options as I'm sure they don't put up as much as a fight as these ones Slowly progressing thanks for looking in cheers John View attachment 109515
