No detail shots - there's no detail! The control surface joints will have to be rescribed, you can only see the elevators & ailerons in the right light! The PE has gone awol, but it only consisted of the instrument panel & seat belts. As I intend to fit a pilot, not a problem.......
The Hornet was introduced too late for WWII, it was intended as a long range fighter to be used in the Pacific War. It essentially was a single seat Mosquito, using the same manufacturing techniques - consequently, not many panel lines!
The short run model has no locating pins, the parts will need a lot of cleaning up & refining - I'll have to add a wingspar, as butt joining the wings will be a weakness. I will use the resin exhausts, radiators & wheels, but the insert for the cannons, I might try drilling & scribing the fuselage, to avoid cutting/fitting/filling.
