You're a brave man! I've heard that kit is a real bear to tackle.

It is. I got a couple of kits for free so I might as well give her a try. I can tell already that there are some serious issues but the interior isn't bad so far. There is enough detail to make it look good without to much work. I'll probably document this build. If I don't become too frustrated.

I do have some PE for the next build. This one will be a straight box build. I just don't have any decals so I'll need to search around for some suitable ones or paint on.
