I have managed to drop the plane and break paper-thin nose. This was corrected with piece of styrene sheet, filled with super-glue

Guido, you should think of including Eduard's set and vacformed canopy - it really improves the model 🙂 BTW, this is the same Esci/Italeri tool, only in Revell's box.

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate that 🙂
Guido, I don't know about Aires, but it looks much better, especially in the rear part of the cockpit. I'm quite satisfied with this solution, but it requires some additional scratchbuilding :-/

Thanks, Seb and Guido 🙂
Guido, Eduard gives small etched rectangle (4x2mm) that attaches to the inside of canopy's top rear part and goes into slot in fuselage. You'll also notice few cubes - I used one as a support for the canopy frame until the superglue dries.

Very nice result, Zoran! 👍 I especially like the cockpit and the metal effect of the plane.

Very colourful markings, it looks great! Even after all these years, the old Esci kit is still the best F-100 out there.
