Marco GallmannThis kit has a lot of bad reviews. Is it really so bad, what you think so far about it?

Modellers Unitedso far mate to be honest its fine , yes alot of injector pin marks and seams but im used to the old airfix 1/24 kits so nothing that cant be sorted out , i tend not to pay attension to reviews like that they say bad things about the revell bentley that im also building and thats turning out great too 🙂

Modellers United3 hours work for 2 roof windows lol , tested Alclad Armoured Glass & Alclad Transparent Green on a bit of scrap as i couldent make my mind up lol , the Transparent Green looked best so Cleaned then polished the windows with Alclad MicroMesh , coated with Alclad Honey Primer , 3 fine coats of the Alclad Transparent Green then a dip in Alclad Aqua Gloss well worth the time and effort 🙂

Modellers Unitedunmasked the clear parts , painted and fitted the doors and main prop , just need to fit the ammo belts and the rear prop then ready for decals and weathering , had a slight problem with the rear prop as in its a moulded blob of plastic so had to build a new one out of plastic card just waiting for paint to dry on it 🙂
