Nice cockpit. How's the build? Looks like there's a few fit issues you've had to deal with.

Hi Guys, the build is challenging, the Plastic is thick and hard in places and I have had some difficulties with the joins around the lower and upper inlets and due to the fact that the base tooling will be used for a number of variants. My rescribing tools have been earning their money. Most parts have flash on them even if it is only thin. The model quality is probably worse than a Hobbyboss kit. Being a spoilt armour modeller and building Meng, Takom, Dragon and Tamiya, I now realise how spoilt I've been. The wing fit is average at best due to it serving as the lower inlet. But hey that's what modelling is about, a challenge. I was going to weather the interior but only a little will be seen so I decided to leave it clean. Canopy will be on tonight then masks and external primers.

I've got 4 in stash, but i did't start any of them yet. I'm a bit afraid as there are some poor fits with kinetic kits. But you made a great job !
