Vincent, from the pictures it looks great so far. What kind of problems did you have? I look forward to the finish.

Well, I was trying out different glues for the fuselage halves and had the very wrong idea of mixing them together. Basically, the plastic melted a bit and caved in on the upper part. I had to put filler to make it right. There's a remnant of that on the left halve of the fuselage. Behind the pilot seat, you can see there's a caved in small round.

Also, with all the sanding, the canopy does not fit anymore 🙂. Still pondering about a way to have it fit :-p

I also did not so good a job of the tips of the wings.

And the decals were very hard and I literaly drowned them in decal setting. Happily, most of these turned out rather well but on the underside, there's one that is a bit crumpled.

And I couldnt find reference photos, so the scheme and position of the decals are more what-if than real I'm afraid.

Brushpainted? Cool result, the surface looks very smooth! Well done, Vincent!
