There are some decals to add inside the engine covers for three dials each side of the engine. I applied them and painted the back black to help them stand out.
Note, as well that I have glued tabs of plastic card to strengthen a join between front and rear panels.
i masked the dials. I have a lot of sheets of round masks of many sizes. something that’s very useful to have.
I also glued in some ‘stringers’ inside the wing sections.

I had a close look at the Mastercasters resin exhausts and I am not pleased with what I found. The kit ones are solid, a bit of an oddity in this kit given their use of slide moulding so a decent resin set will help with the appearance.
in this pick you can see a solid kit part at the top and the resin below. See how poorly they are rendered. I cleaned one up (breaking it is the process, easy to resolve) and only then did I see how poor they are.
As I result I decided to order the Quickboost resin set. I won’t buy Mastercasters again.
