The wheel wells are the only places where quite a bit of filling and sanding is required, they don't line up so well.

The wheel wells don't have a lot of details, let's hope the Eduard PE will liven it up.

Next time I'm getting resin wheel wells, these PE parts are a pain to get in there...

The engines and tail are heavy, she'll be a tail sitter if not enough weight is added.

I hope this is enough weight.

One of the things I hate is attaching these film sheets for the HUD, I kept messing it up. In the end I used Pledge Floor Gloss to attach it and also gave it two thin coats of it. Came out ok in the end.

The Cartograf decals are very good.

There is a decal for this gray area, but with the uneven surface and aerials already in place is a nightmare to get in place. So I decided to paint it instead.

Looks great. Would you recommend the kit? What challenges did you have with this Italeri kit? 🙂

Thanks all for the comments.
@Suranas D - I would recommend this kit, the detail is good and with some after market parts make for a very nice kit. The fit is really good and the only place where it needed some filler was around the wing roots. The decals are from Cartograf and is very good.

You're correct! Looks ACE! ?
