Thinned the resin struts for the launcher supports... 1 down, 1 to go. Maybe I'll try to get a bit thinner...
problem with windshield, positioned in the middle, just thicken it to both sides?
here it is, positioned to one side...
tried the saw first, need to redo the right top side, but it is perfect in width, now restoring the detail, or at least try to
cleaned up, ready for primer to test the result
dryfit, looks a lot better
tested with black paint to check the seams, looks ok after a few iterations

Bart Goesaertthx. hope not to disappoint. already looking out for some camouflage on this one, and maybe a small change to make it an AMK instead of a standard one...

Bart GoesaertProgress was a bit slower then expected... Wheels fitted under the hull, only 1 needs a bit of correction for not touching the ground (to me it's a succes...)
Also thinned down one support for the launchers... some tedious work, but luckily the resin isn't that brittle. Further I ran into a serious problem with the windshield part. It is approx. 1.5mm smaller then the hull, and I'm very puzzled how to deal with that

Thomas K.i have a tipp for the windshield: you can make self; you need only a plastic from a blister. so you can scratch the pice 😉

Bart Goesaertthx Thomas, tried it first with the saw, whenall else fails, I can still try to scratch it completely...
