Nice progress, I see the joint between top right wing and the fuselage is an issue in all these kits.

Looking good, good start.

Lukasz yeah, I did apply some filler and then sand it as much as I could and it was still there a little bit. But it's much better than what it was before

Great looking interior, Megan.
I am building the Revell version and it was pretty bare. I figure nobody will probably be able to see anything anyway...
Priming looks good. The panel lines on the Revell kit seem to be a little finer, and I worry I have lost a bit of detail under the paint.

Thanks guys. My first proper project so i've got a long way to go, until im anywhere near as good as you people!

Lost track of this - it turned out very nicely, Megan! Great brush job (much better than I can do) - you might try your local hardware or auto parts store for a cheap compressor and airbrush set as a starter (if you're interested in going that way); they're usually a lot cheaper than hobby shops for that stuff. Keep turning them out like this and you'll be in comps before you know it!
