This kit I got for about 5 squidd, wich I thought at the time was a steal.
Then I saw the mouldings and it was a nightmare! The fuse bottom halves are not the same thickness, the plastic is soft and when joined the bottom to the front has a gap of about 2-3mm.
I inserted some sheet internaly to be able to join the fuse.LOTS of filler needed.
I will see after sanding how it pans out.
The cockpit actually has some rather nice detail to it. The bench lapstraps are moulded in, so carefull painting is called for.
I need to touch up some "office" paint and then put on the roof.The plane in real life has a bright red curtain on the rear bulckhead, heaven only knows why!
The side windows were a nightmare to try and fit, I hope the windshield is better.
