Thanks Eddy. It is an excellent model, very detailed, which however requires a lot of care. The assemblies are good: we can thus mount the wings once the painting is finished, which greatly facilitates the painting... The black point is in my opinion the lack of clarity of the assembly instructions. It is essential to study it well (I must have read it 4 or 5 times before beginning to understand it...). It is a well-known model and there are many photos and details of the assembly on the internet.

Yeah I recall those instructions being pretty vague... Good note about keeping the wings separate...That'll be handy... Good to hear mate... One of these days I'll get into it... lol

An excellent, very detailed model, to which I wanted to add Eduard's magnificent photoetched sheet. I have the feeling that the "lowered flaps" option brings a real improvement to the original model. A lot of work on this model, which requires a lot of care, but in the end I'm pretty happy with the result !
